Background: Researchers are increasingly motivated to move toward patient-centric drug development. TransCelerate has identified improved "information exchange" as an important component of creating a more satisfying clinical trial experience for patients and their health care professionals (HCPs).
Methods: Patients, sponsors, sites, and HCPs were engaged through surveys, interviews, and/or advisory boards to capture the current status of information exchange and identify possible future practices between the major stakeholders within the clinical research ecosystem.
Background: Survey data has suggested a gap between individuals willing to participate in a clinical trial and those who enroll. Clearer research must be done to better understand this discrepancy and the accessibility of patient-desired information, such that steps can be identified to assist sponsors in empowering patients to drive their own clinical trial search journey.
Methods: Patients, sponsors, and health care professionals were engaged through surveys and advisory boards to determine the ideal information for sponsors to provide during a clinical trial search.
