Integrated Clinical Trial Services Releases Podcast on Pre-Launch Education for Clinical Trials
Raleigh, NC, December 24, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Tom Sturgis, president of Integrated Clinical Trial Services (ICTS), a full-service patient enrollment firm that utilizes more than 300 contract employees internationally to provide clinical trial patient recruitment, enrollment, retention and adherence, has announced the release of a podcast discussing the impact of pre-launch education for clinical trials. In the podcast, Dr. David M. Shearer, chief medical officer and vice president of clinical operations at ICTS, discusses how pre-launch patient education can stimulate a higher return on investment for patient compliance during a clinical trial. The podcast is now available for download at www.mmimarketing.com/files/davidshearerprelauncheducation.mp3.
“Too many times in the informed consent process of a clinical trial, the patient is not adequately informed of what they are signing up for,” said Shearer. “Information about what a clinical trial involves needs to be explained to the patient. It is important to engage the subject and make them aware of what they can expect in their given condition during a trial.”
