The Role of Caregivers in Clinical Trials: A Focus on Rare Neurological Conditions, New Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
TORONTO (PRWEB) March 11, 2019 -- Executing trials successfully and obtaining quality, reliable data necessitates the engagement of not just the patient but the patient’s entire ecosystem. This is especially true in the case of rare neurological illnesses where the caregiver plays an indispensable role in the day-to-day support of the patient before, during and after clinical trial involvement. Subtle changes in a patient’s mood, behavior and even physicality may be picked up by a caregiver, even though the patient may not identify, recall or be able to articulate the same, due to their disease state.
During the clinical trial process, what are the challenges in winning the support of these caregivers? How much of a burden is it on them? How much data can actually come from the caregiver? And how do we care for the caregivers so they can give unbiased representations, even though they may have become fierce advocates for their loved ones?
This webinar addresses these questions and alerts drug developers of the comprehensive end-to-end solutions that your contract research organization (CRO) can provide for the lifecycle of the trials.
Join Lisa Dilworth, VP of Rare & Orphan Diseases at Synteract and Linda Rawlings, VP of Neuro Degenerative Development at Synteract in a live webinar on Wednesday, March 27, 2019 at 11am EDT (3pm GMT) to learn:
