The global impact of cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for 17.9 million deaths annually – 31% of all global deaths. Over 612 million people live with CVDs, with most fatalities occurring in low and middle income countries.
Given their high prevalence and diverse nature, clinical trials are essential for advancing treatments.

How Clariness supports cardiovascular research
With 20 years of experience, Clariness has successfully supported over 75 cardiovascular disease (CVD) studies across six regions, covering all phases from Phase I to Phase IV.
We leverage a range of targeted channels to reach patients, using demographic categories such as age, gender, and risk factors, which we have identified through past experience and annual surveys. In addition, we utilize online forums, social media groups, and keywords that, while often indirectly related to heart disease, resonate with those affected by CVD.

Ensuring women’s representation in cardiovascular clinical trials
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, yet they remain underrepresented in clinical trials. This disparity is due to various factors, including the complexities of studying women’s health across hormonal life cycles and other systemic barriers.
Women deserve equal representation in research to ensure they receive the best possible care.
Heart disease can present differently at every stage of a woman’s life, and certain types of heart attacks disproportionately affect women. Greater inclusion in clinical studies is essential for improving diagnosis, treatment and outcomes.
At Clariness, we are proud to have supported so many women in clinical trials. This past year, 62% of all participants in studies we’ve supported were women (significantly above the global average of 41%).

Whitepaper: Patient recruitment for cardiovascular disease clinical trials
Our whitepaper explores the key barriers preventing cardiovascular disease patients from participating in clinical trials and how organizers can address them.
It provides insights into recruitment challenges for conditions like peripheral arterial disease, heart failure, and stroke, along with effective, transferable solutions.

Some recent patient recruitment successes
Exceeded recruitment goals by 12%
We referred 12% more referrals than planned (over 8k+) in a Phase III cardiovascular disease study for a large pharmaceutical company. Over 5 months, we contributed 21% of randomized patients at the 250 sites we supported across 16 countries in LATAM, NA, EU and APAC.
Reached recruitment targets 2 months ahead of schedule
Our client came to us to rescue a behind-plan patient recruitment for a Phase III cardiovascular study program supporting 2 protocols. The campaign spanned 188 sites in 7 countries and ultimately reached our enrollment target 2 months ahead of schedule despite the difficult I/E criteria that caused many sites to discontinue the study.
