Exco InTouch, advises that with heightened regulatory standards and the increasing trial complexity and duration of studies, patient non-compliance is a growing issue that requires tailored, cost-effective solutions.  To address these challenges, it is essential to proactively employ strategies that ensure patient compliance in order to avoid compromised data, complete trial failure, or heavy financial losses (through replacement patients and lost revenue days). Successful retention and subject compliance are essential to the completion of a successful trial.
