TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Approximately 300 million people worldwide are living with a rare disease. Due to the limited patient population, clinical trials for these conditions present unique considerations, particularly around recruitment and retention.

Key considerations include site selection, patient transportation, language and cultural barriers, differing legislation between countries, managing patient care and patient education – each of which is critical for the success of rare disease clinical trials.

Cross-border patient participation, allowing for a broader patient pool, is a necessity. This approach can lead to additional complexities if not well-considered in advance and/or without practical experience. Key considerations include site selection, patient transportation, language and cultural barriers, differing legislation between countries, managing patient care and patient education – each of which is critical for the success of rare disease clinical trials.

In this webinar, the expert speakers will explore strategies for cross-border patient participation, drawing on lessons learned from years of experience running these trials. They will share key cross-border enrollment and retention factors for conducting these trials, covering regulatory intelligence, operational considerations and methods for enhancing patient experience.
