Speeding the Development of Global Recruitment Materials

TCN e-Systems' e-recruitment tools expedited the development, translation, customization, approval, and implementation of multiple sets of recruitment materials for a multinational clinical study of a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. As a result, the study enrolled within a few months, despite competition from many other RA studies.

Study

Phase III study, consisting of 5 protocols
31 countries (36 languages)
275 sites
2,100 patients

Objectives

Rapidly develop, translate, customize, gain approval, and distribute materials in order to maximize a short enrollment period.

Recruitment Challenges

All materials would need to pass multiple legal and regulatory reviews.
Patient materials would also be subject to lengthy ethics committee review cycles.

Recruitment Challenges

A short enrollment period created very tight development and implementation timeframes, within which multiple legal, regulatory, and ethics committee reviews would have to occur.
Rapid development and management of a full complement of materials for each of three separate protocols, requiring 2,400+ pieces, translated, localized, and customized for individual sites.
