Identify Eligible Participants
Patient recruitment is one of the most challenging components of any clinical trial. 80% of clinical trials fail to meet recruitment timelines and 30% of trials are terminated due to insufficient enrollment. The challenges stem from a combination of regulatory barriers, patient-related issues, and logistical complexities – WEP is here to help you overcome these with expert patient recruitment strategies.
WEP’s innovative, data-driven strategies, coupled with our patient-first approach, ensure that we recruit the right patients, at the right time, with the highest retention rates, delivering reliable and timely study outcomes. Whether your study requires rapid enrollment, diverse populations, or mobile nursing solutions, WEP has the expertise and tools to ensure success.
