Crossing the Finish Line

Understanding Why Participation Support is Critical to Rare Disease Trial Efficiency and Success

Rare Disease Trials

Unique Challenges & Opportunities

Until now, there has been no research to understand the participation support needs of rare disease patients and caregivers. 

The results of focus groups we conducted with ICON (formerly PRA) reveal the gap between the clinical trials experiences and perceptions of patients and the participation support services they receive.
