i3's solutions can contain your trial costs and improve timeline management --through the application of better data resources and long experience. We understand what's at stake, and that bringing your new drugs to market depends on well-run trials.

Using our high speed data mining capabilities, we use your parameters to tabulate relevant clinical epidemiologic data and identify geographic areas having high (or low) concentrations of patients with the specific diagnoses and other attributes relevant to your trial. In this process, we observe strict ethical, legal, and regulatory parameters:

  • Individual patients are not contacted directly about the trial
  • Sites do not receive information about specific potential patients

Patient Recruitment

Once we identify promising sites and recruit investigators, i3's experienced CRAs and proven recruitment programs can go to work. It is during initiation that sites are most motivated to succeed --so we focus their energies on patient recruitment from the very start. Throughout the enrollment period, our CRAs engage test sites in many ways, including:

  • Consultation with the physician able to deliver the most effective message at the point of care
  • Regular contact and positive reinforcement with all site participants
  • Recruitment strategies and materials to help sites quickly begin successful recruitment
  • Recommendations on advertising and promotional strategies
  • Central screening to support the patient screening process
  • Public relations and community/advocacy outreach efforts
  • Event marketing
  • Pharmacy outreach
  • Online metrics and reporting through our proprietary online reporting and tracking tool

Patient compliance and retention

In our experience, the best way to support compliance and retention is through regular, informative contact by the study coordinator with the patients. Therefore, we equip coordinators with:

  • Dynamic patient educational materials
  • Loyalty programs for patients
  • Motivational tips
  • Appreciation items related to the disease for use by the study sites

Site Support Services

Everything we do is designed to help sites recruit and retain patients for your study. With strategies tailored to the needs of your sites, we provide the support necessary to keep your study's enrollment on track such as:

  • Site training, coaching and motivation
  • Referring physician programs
  • Site staffing support
