The Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) is proud to announce the launch of its 2024 Clinical Trials Day campaign, Trailblazers Among Us.
The process of assessing clinical trial feasibility is in urgent need of improvement. Aimed at predicting whether a trial at a particular site will succeed, feasibility involves determining whether the site has the necessary patients, staff, technology and other resources. In turn, site staff must decide whether the site should accept the study based on available resources.¹
Maintaining patient engagement and minimizing dropout rates in clinical trials is a persistent hurdle, with dropout rates soaring up to 30% in some studies. Traditional methods often fall short in addressing the needs and concerns of participants, leading to disengagement and, ultimately, withdrawal from the trial. However, purpose-driven eClinical solutions, like ENGAGE!, an integrated MyStudyManager™ Participant Portal and eConsent system, offer a more patient-centric approach that presents a promising avenue for recruiting and retaining patients for long-term engagement in clinical studies.
Advances in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) demand more than simply offering people from underrepresented populations a seat at the table. “While this is a good starting point, we must also take a close look at what happens at that table,” says Ashley Moultrie, CCRP, Director of DEI and Community Engagement at Javara. “Success depends on what happens next.”
The Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) is proud to welcome its new class of 2024 Fellows. Recognized with the FACRP designation for their contributions to ACRP and to the clinical trial industry, each member has demonstrated commitment to advancing the profession by sharing his or her experiences and mentoring others in the field.
