How do we get patients to feel safe, have trust, and be interested in clinical trials? With cultural competency, says Mel Hardman DrPH, MPH, MS. Here, Hardman details what it is, why it's important to clinical trials, and how to implement it at the site level. #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch

“Generally, the higher the site burden in a study, the slower the recruitment.” In a recent Citeline/Clinical Leader webinar on patient engagement and recruitment challenges, Ted Trafford , director of business development, Probity Medical Research Inc. Research, says he thinks a lot of people underestimate the impact burden has on recruitment. He reveals that in a study of 65 sites, 75% of patient-facing site staff spent less than half their day with participants. This is concerning because sites only get paid for the time spent with participants, affecting their ability to recruit candidates for #clinicaltrials. On the patient side, factors contributing to the decision to enter a clinical trial include the burden of tasks like completing daily journals and surveys. Patient advocate Tina Aswani-Omprakash, MPH emphasizes the importance of patient involvement in trial design, considering the toll on patients' daily routines and overall well-being. "Is that too much burden on the patient and will they not participate in the trial because of that excessive burden? These are all things that we need to iron out from the very beginning and not wait until the trial is going to be pulled.” For success, panelists suggest measuring site satisfaction, reducing impediments, and emphasizing partnership and collaboration. Aswani-Omprakash adds that providing study data to patients contributes to their sense of accomplishment and connection to advancing science.

Importance of Patient Experience in Clinical Trials and the Role of Patient Experience Directors - "PX-CJ" (Patient eXperience - Clinical Journey In clinical trials, the emphasis on patient experience has become increasingly paramount. This focus not only humanizes the clinical trial process but also significantly impacts the patient journey, ensuring that trials are more than just scientific endeavors; they are patient-centered experiences that respect, engage, and empower participants. In this context, the role of Patient Experience Directors emerges as crucial. These professionals are dedicated to enhancing the patient's journey through clinical trials by ensuring comprehensive support for patients and their care partners. The patient experience in clinical trials encompasses all aspects of a patient's interaction with the clinical trial process, from recruitment and informed consent to participation, treatment, and follow-up. A positive patient experience is instrumental in fostering trust, improving patient engagement, and ensuring that participants feel valued and heard. This not only aids in retaining current participants but also encourages future participation, thereby supporting the advancement of medical research and development. Patient Experience Directors are experienced individuals within the clinical trial space whose primary responsibility is to ensure that patients and their care partners are adequately supported throughout the patient journey. They act as advocates for the patient's needs and preferences, working tirelessly to create an environment that is both supportive and empowering. By focusing on clear communication, emotional support, and logistical assistance, Patient Experience Directors play a key role in mitigating the challenges faced by participants, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the clinical trial experience. Much like the term "Customer Experience" is denoted by the acronym 'UX' in other industries, the clinical trial sector requires a similar identifier to encapsulate the essence of patient experience. To address this need, a good identifier/acronyn would be "PX-CJ" (Patient eXperience - Clinical Journey). This identifier serves to highlight the importance of patient experience within the clinical trial process and provides a clear and concise way for study participants and care partners to understand and engage with the clinical trial patient journey. The journey through clinical trials is profoundly influenced by the patient experience, necessitating a dedicated focus and professional oversight to ensure its optimization. The role of Patient Experience Directors, coupled with the innovative use of the PX-CJ identifier, underscores a commitment to transforming the clinical trial landscape into a more patient-centric model. #PatientFirstTrials #PX_CJourney #EmpoweredPatients #ClinicalCareEvolved #BeyondTheTrial
