Patient Recruit Phase I~III Trial//Oncology –All Areas
Expert Analysis//
The website “Oncolo” was able to grow rapidly since its establishment because it includes the voices of patient advocacy groups and oncologists, and KOLs have acknowledged Oncolo’srecruitment approaches and objectives. Oncologains increased recognitions from front-line doctors daily, and some patients we recruit were actually referred to Oncolofrom their doctors. It became apparent that providing study information about rare cancers where treatment option information is scarce was an effective approach.Project Summary//

Oncology is considered a difficult area for patient recruitment. At CROee, we strategically planned the contents of the Oncolowebsite to target patient recruitment in this area. After over 1 year of running the website and starting patient recruitment activities, we received especially good response from the rare cancer area. After 3 months of patient recruitment, over 100 people had responded to our recruitment, and some were even randomized within this short time frame.Plan & Results//
