Patient enrollment can be difficult for clinical trials targeting rare genetic diseases. These trials typically target very small patient populations, leading to challenges in enrolling patients. Also, enrollment is often restricted by logistical and social barriers such as language, participants’ ability to take time off from work, and participants’ ability to travel to research sites.

Given the barriers to identifying patients for rare disease studies, achieving enrollment success also requires more inclusive study design and technology-driven solutions. Biotech and pharmaceutical companies increasingly recognize the importance of connecting to patient advocacy groups to identify and enroll a diverse population of patients in clinical trials.

In this whitepaper, we address how to engage patient advocacy groups as critical stakeholders in clinical trials, leading to more inclusive patient populations.
