Enhancing The Patient Journey In Clinical Trials

A recent Greenphire webinar underscored the critical role of patient-centric planning in clinical trials, focusing on the participant journey alongside scientific and data considerations. Participants often face challenges such as travel, time constraints, and financial burdens, which are particularly pronounced for those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. A notable hurdle in implementing patient-focused approaches is gaining internal approval, often hindered by a lack of supportive data. To address this, Greenphire introduced their Patient Experience Dataset, part of the Budgeting & Benchmarking tool, which provides comprehensive data on fair compensation and aids in effective trial planning. The webinar also highlighted the importance of collaboration among sponsors, CROs, sites, and patients to foster a more equitable and inclusive trial environment. By prioritizing a patient-friendly approach, clinical trials can enhance outcomes, benefiting both research advancements and participant well-being.
