On November 10, 2011 Exco InTouch sponsored a Complimentary Web Seminar entitled:

Take Control of Patient Communication, Reduce Missing Data, and Maximize Compliance and Retention

The Challenge - Both FDA and the EMEA have put greater emphasis on the collection of full data sets for trial participants, with a particular focus being on the collection of data for critical endpoints at specified time points, as well as reason for withdrawal from study medication data. Statistically, over 85% of clinical trials in the US fail to recruit or retain enough patients, with the average patient drop-out rate across all clinical trials surveyed at 30%. High non-completion rates such as these can result in decreased quality of data, ineffective use of time and reduced statistical power in a study.
