Overcoming recruitment delays in clinical trials
When recruitment delays disrupt the entire study timeline
When the first patient is enrolled later than planned or the final visit is delayed, the entire study timeline is thrown off track. Recruitment delays are one of the most common reasons for extended study durations — with direct impact on costs, resources, and data quality.
Common challenges at trial sites
But how do you deal with it when …
suitable patients are not identified on time in the sites day-to-day routine?
pre-screening procedures are difficult to manage due to time and staffing constraints?
potential participants drop out because information and support are insufficient?
The reality at trial sites: high time pressure, competing studies, limited capacities — and recruitment added “on top” of daily operations.
This is exactly where we come in
With our Patient Recruitment Service, we accelerate the journey from First Patient In to Last Patient Out. We provide targeted support to trial sites in identifying, pre-screening, and supporting suitable patients — in a structured, efficient, and practice-oriented way.
Our operational support for faster recruitment
Our Research Professionals take over time-consuming recruitment tasks on site or remotely: from systematic review of patient data and structured pre-screening to active follow-up of potential study participants. This shortens recruitment timelines, increases enrollment rates, and improves patient retention.
Less delay. More enrollment. Predictable study timelines.
