A leading clinical research company partnered with CORE® to overcome slow enrollment and high recruitment costs. Through our fully managed CRPR team in the Philippines, the organization achieved faster enrollment, greater cost savings, and significantly improved patient engagement. This redefines what efficient clinical trial patient recruitment looks like. 

The Importance of Efficient Clinical Trial Patient Recruitment 

Efficient patient enrollment is the backbone of successful clinical research. Delays in recruitment can prolong study timelines, increase operational costs, and compromise data integrity. For research sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs), a high-performing recruitment system enables them to: 

  • Consistently meet enrollment milestones 
  • Maintain cost efficiency 
  • Ensure strong patient engagement and retention 
  • Protect data accuracy and trial credibility 

By prioritizing patient enrolment acceleration, organizations can advance trials more quickly and achieve better outcomes for both patients and researchers. Our data-backed strategies ensure that every recruitment phase aligns with trial objectives, keeping studies on track and fully compliant. 

The Challenge: Delayed Enrollment and Rising Costs 

Before partnering with CORE®, the company struggled with recurring challenges in their offshore patient recruitment efforts: 

  • Slow enrollment rates that delayed overall study timelines 
  • Rising recruitment costs due to prolonged campaign periods 
  • Inconsistent performance across in-house and regional teams 
  • Difficulty maintaining engagement with prospective participants 

The company also needed a scalable and reliable partner capable of standardizing processes, accelerating enrollment, and minimizing inefficiencies across all trial sites.
