Increasing Patient Enrollment in Clinical Trials
We understand your pain.
We know that difficulties in patient enrollment delay 81% of all clinical trials
up to six months, and another five percent even longer. We know that these delays
cost billions of dollars and prevent potentially helpful drugs from being cleared.
Patient recruitment barriers, including negative perceptions of the pharmaceutical
industry and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), fears of side effects, and
the lack of awareness of clinical trials are at the heart of the problem.
But there are two positive signs:i
This program also offers:
- 1.) The majority (83%) of individuals believe that it is “essential” or “very important”
to test new treatments on humans before they're approved for use, and 96% of
individuals that have participated in a clinical trial report having a positive
experience. ii
- 2.) Over 50% of individuals that have participated in a clinical trial did so at
the suggestion of their physician,iii and 92% of clinical trial participants
learned about their clinical trail from their physician.iv

Testimonials
"SMI’s exam table program is a very effective and affordable for clinical trial
patient recruitment. Clinical trial messaging on Exam Table Paper initiates a dialogue
between patients and study staff about clinical research. The depth and breadth
of SMI's physician database allows you to penetrate difficult therapeutic areas
for trials such as oncology and pediatrics. I highly recommend this high impact,
low cost tactic for clinical trial patient recruitment."
