Patient recruitment for obesity clinical trials

Obesity

We know how to find the patients who precisely match the criteria of your trial​

While it may seem straightforward to recruit patients with obesity given its widespread prevalence, studies often entail stringent eligibility criteria and require patient cohorts that can be challenging to find. 

At Clariness, our unparalleled expertise in obesity studies distinguishes us from the rest.

Challenges when recruiting patients for diabetes studies

50% (232 million) of people with diabetes are undiagnosed (according to the International Diabetes Federation).

Therefore, it is hard to reach patients without specific outreach methods.

Newly diagnosed people often do not feel sick or in need of treatment.

Studies show that many patients (especially from minority groups) do not know about diabetes symptoms due to less access to healthcare, education, and lower socioeconomic status. Another barrier is what researchers describe as ‘Diabetes Denial,’ meaning many patients ignore mild symptoms.

Many trials do not provide patient-centric information.

Details on inclusion and exclusion criteria, the goals and procedure of the study, and other information are often not provided in a patient-centric manner. This leads to lower sign-up and participation rates, as well as higher drop-out during a clinical trial.

Enhancing patient recruitment on a global scale

Recruiting globally for obese patients is crucial for research and treatment development. It ensures diverse data representation, essential for understanding global variations in obesity prevalence and impacts.

At Clariness, we possess the capability to connect with patients worldwide.

In a recent survey to potential participants that identified as being overweight, 62% expressed interest in participating in a trial for a new weight loss medication. Imagine the potential impact on your patient outreach if you could engage with over 60% of your target audience.

recent success story

Our results speak for themselves

When approached by an international sponsor to support their obesity studies, we eagerly accepted the challenge and thus far delivered outstanding outcomes.

To date, we’ve successfully referred over 150 patients, achieving a 75% reduction in cost per obesity patient compared to the industry standard. This means we’re operating at just 20% of the typical referral cost for an obese patient.*

*This study is ongoing, and final results may vary upon completion.

Study Coordinator, Department of Cardiology, Clinic Maria Hilf GmbH
We are very happy with the service and wish the recruitment campaign hadn’t ended so soon.
Study Coordinator, St. Johanes Hospital
We have a very large patient database but it is much easier to use Clariness referrals.
Clinical Study Coordinator, Asklepios MVZ Bayern – Landsberg
Clariness has supported us in patient recruitment in nine studies across six different indications, accelerating recruitment, and increasing screening and randomization numbers. Referrals have been constant and consistent, so we’re excited to see the results of continuing patient recruitment through the ClinLife® Registry.
Principal Investigator, Velocity Berlin
Clariness perform the pre-screening and get lots of information for us, before we contact the patient. It really helps us as we’re a tiny department that does a lot, so anything that helps is appreciated.
Human Research Protection Program Coordinator
It’s a bit like magic – we don’t have to do anything and suddenly, we have a list of interested participants!
Clinical Trials Manager
“I usually never click on ads, but this ad about a clinical trial really appealed to me, so I applied right away. The research center was only 2 km away, so the personal approach was optimal.”
