Patient Recruitment for Sponsors and CROs

The Center for the Study of Drug Development reported in 2013 that:

80+% of trials do not meet recruitment timelines

11% of sites fail to enroll a single patient
37% of sites under enroll
90% of delays in trial completion are due to sluggish patient recruitment

The time has come for sponsors and CROs to take ownership of the patient recruitment
quagmire that has plagued the industry for years.
Sluggish patient recruitment is costing the industry hundreds of millions of dollars
resulting from missed opportunity costs. Not to mention the non-monetary costs to
patients as effective therapeutics are delayed en route to market. Missed opportunity
costs can range from:

$500,000 per day for mid range therapeutics

Upwards of $2Million per day for blockbuster therapeutics
