Increasing Access to Clinical Research Using an Innovative Mobile Recruitment Approach: The (MoRe) Concept
Last updated
Share PrintParticipation in clinical research is a gateway to novel therapies that are intended to address current global health issues. We developed and piloted Mobile Recruitment (MoRe) units at 7 VA medical centers that were study sites for the Million Veteran Program (MVP) study, a high-volume, observational cohort study and mega biobank in the VA health care system. We employed this recruitment strategy to address three common barriers to clinical research participation: 1) research participant travel burden, 2) participant access to study opportunities, and 3) low participant enrollment.

- Recent literature suggests that living in a rural setting may be associated with adverse cancer outcomes. This study examines the burden of travel from home to cancer center for clinical trial (CT) enrollees. At What Cost to Clinical Trial Enrollment? A Retrospective Study of Patient Travel Burden in Cancer Clinical Trials
- Clinical trials are time consuming, expensive, and often burdensome on patients. Clinical trials can fail for many reasons. This survey reviews many of these reasons and offers insights on opportunities for improving the likelihood of creating and executing successful clinical trials. Literature from the past 30 years was reviewed for relevant data. Common patterns in reported successful trials are identified, including factors regarding the study site, study coordinator/investigator, and the effects on participating patients. Specific instances where artificial intelligence can help improve clinical trials are identified.
