TORONTO, May 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Caregivers play a critical role in clinical research since they are the closest and most constant observer of the individual living with dementia. During a clinical trial the 'caregiver' becomes the 'study partner' and is essential for the success of clinical research. Study retention and adherence to study protocol is a crucial consideration in Alzheimer's disease trials. Caregivers play a vital role in the landscape of dementia clinical trials by supporting protocol tasks and ensuring participants attend all required visits.
Join this webinar to learn why it is critical that early program design include strategies to address the caregiver needs, thereby reducing burden and boosting patient recruitment and retention.
Join experts from PPD, part of Thermo Fisher Scientific, Dr. Sabine Krofczik-Wilhelm, PhD, Executive Director, Neuroscience; Dr. Bruce Hoffen, MD, Principal Investigator, Orlando Clinic; and Eve Kamau, MSc, RN, Sr. Director Home Trial Services, for the live webinar on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at 10am EDT (4pm CEST/EU-Central).
