Patient Retention: Quality Of Life Is Key

With a dropout rate exceeding 30% in Phase 3 clinical trials, there is a critical need for sponsors to address the challenges that contribute to participant attrition. Sponsors must demonstrate heightened awareness of the burdens imposed on patients, encompassing their health, time, and financial commitments.
