Caso de estudio: Enfermedad de Parkinson

Problema

We partnered with a major research center that was recruiting a rare subset of Parkinson’s Disease patients with specific reactions to a commonly prescribed therapy.

2 years into the recruitment phase of the trial, they had only enrolled 31 patients, 36% of their goal.

The sponsor was over budget and concerned that they would not be able to complete enrollment by their deadline.

Nuestro enfoque

We engaged the local Parkinson’s community in California using 5 approaches:

1. Existing patients in the client network
2. Partnering with advocacy groups and patient influencers
3. Scraping social media pages
4. Tapping our database of patients
5. Cold outreach to local community groups for support

Once engaged, we provided patients with sharing tools to reach their extended network, connecting them with resources and, if eligible, our client’s clinical trial.

Resultados

WeHealth connected 3,039 patients with Parkinson’s resources in 7 months, including 135 eligible and interested Parkinson’s patients referred to our client’s clinical trial. 38 made it through the client phone screen to consent stage. The client is now back on track to complete the study on time and on budget. Our efforts improved the client’s rate of consent by more than 6X per month.
