Improving Pre-Screening Processes: A Patient-Centric Approach To Streamline Recruitment

In this presentation from the Patients as Partners conference, Carebox CEO Brian Weiss discussed why it’s time to move past per-study custom pre-screeners. During the presentation, some of the topics advocated for include:

• Every patient advocacy group, research site, and pharma company “clinical trial finder” website should add condition questionnaires and matching in place of today’s spotty use of study-at-a-time pre-screeners.
• Every patient recruitment services company should incorporate condition questionnaires as their “study pre-screener” infrastructure.
• Every vendor with an agenda of being a patient/caregiver alternative to clinicaltrials.gov should be using condition questionnaires and not limiting eligibility search to sex and age.
• Every patient/caregiver should be using the Carebox Connect Network to find treatment options in research.

Weiss says the Carebox Connect Network is proven, scalable, and patient-reasonable, being used by dozens of partner patient advocacy groups, leading academic research hospitals and research centers trial sites, several top-tier pharmaceutical company trial sponsors, and over 2,000,000 patients so far, and more every day.
