A campaign to raise awareness of the critical need to increase patient participation in clinical trials, and to inspire doctors, nurses and patients to act.

Joined December 2017
Clinical trials are by their very nature experimental since they relate to products/uses that are not yet approved and may entail risk. The potential risks and reasonably expected benefits of any trial will be explained to the patient before they agree to participate.

A6: Go straight to the sources--HCPs, patients & researchers! Check out our videos for first-hand accounts of how clinical trial participation gets us closer to new medicine bit.ly/2pIKBI9 #CTAW2018 #onepersoncloser xitter.cf/CCTAwareness/status/99…
Q6. Finally, where can patients find new resources that educate the public about clinical trials, encourage clinical trials participation and dispel common misconceptions? #CTAW2018

Hey @jamienholloway! We agree there should be a more patient-friendly way to find trials. Check out @transcelerate's concept for a clinical trial registry of the future bit.ly/2AeIKRD #ctaw2018 xitter.cf/jamienholloway/status/…
A4: I worry about putting all the pressure to find trials on the patient. They are already pretty overwhelmed and many resources aren't very patient friendly. (I'm looking at you, ct.gov!) #ctaw2018

A4: Communication is key between healthcare providers and patients, but 60% of #HCPs did not recommend a single patient for a clinical study in the last year, according to a SERMO survey. What are the barriers? #ctaw2018

A1: Lack of information and fear of the risks are two of the top barriers to clinical trial participation for all groups. bit.ly/2Ky6AdI #CTAW2018
