Staying on track for 2017 year end enrollment goals?

By: Emily MacHale

Sponsor s come to Or ange County Resea r ch Center (OCRC) because:

  • They are struggling to meet enrollment projection and goals.
  • They are frustrated by the lack of urgency of current clinical sites.
  • They are upset that their study is not a priority at the site level.
  • They are excited by the large database of patients in a vast population center, such as Irvine, CA.

Upcoming New Year

With the end of 2017 in clear view, many biotechs are struggling with their studies and their ability to enroll patients on time. Often times, biotechs are in need of a little push to meet or exceed their enrollment goals to prepare for a successful and innovative new year. What are the strategies your biotech takes to ensure enrollment goals and timelines are achieved? What are the current enrollment struggles and what have you done to ensure patients are enrolled on time?

Sponsors typically go to Orange County Research Center (OCRC), Integrium’s Phase I-IV clinical unit, as a rescue site when they are needing one-on-one, relationship oriented guidance and are under pressure to meet their timelines.
