Protocol review and patient panel

Recruitment is dependent on the feasibility of the protocol, including the number of procedures required, the number of hospital visits required, and the length of the study. The success of the protocol is dependent on the willingness of the patient to undergo all of the required procedures. We can conduct targeted protocol feasibility by addressing specific questions to the patients in our database.

Based on our extensive experience in recruiting and working with investigators, research sites, and pharmaceutical professionals, we can provide advice about setting up protocols, with a focus on the design of the study and it's relation to patient recruitment and retention.

Patient Surveys

Our database and other portals give us a unique opportunity to reach out to patients and assess a potential protocol against a targeted patient group concerned. This allows us to provide feedback on the feasibility of the protocol, as it relates to patient recruitment and retention.

ICF / Info Video's

Images say more than words. Enhance your written (patient) information with a study-specific information video. You will increase subject understanding of the study and their willingness to participate.

Interactive informed consent

Patients must understand the requirements, risks, and benefits of a clinical study before agreeing to participate in a study. At Link2Trials we believe that the traditional lengthy paper informed consent does not convey study information in a patient-friendly manner and that web-based and video informed consent significantly enhances the patients' understanding of a study.

The consent forms are translated into a script that is accompanied by appropriate imagery. The consent video will cover the essential aspects of the consent form and ensure the patient is well informed before a final discussion with the study staff. The treating investigator will confirm the patient’s understanding of the study, answer any questions, and obtain written consent.

Study Specific Instructions

Study specific procedures (for instance the use of an insulin injector) can be easily explained with an instruction video, which can be accessed any time during the study.

The study information videos are accessed through a study specific website at any time, and will include other relevant study specific information, including information on the site and sponsor, full consent form, test questions or other required information.
