Why People Stay (Or Don't)/ Rethinking Participation in Modern Trials
Monday, 17 November, 2025
2025-11-14 - Hosts Amir Kalali and Jane Myles were joined by Alex Charge (ISPEP) and Stacey Davidson (Cuttsy+Cuttsy) on what today’s clinical trial participants experience from start to finish. Drawing on new research conducted by their organizations, the conversation unpacks how patients discover trials, why they join, and what drives both positive experiences and early dropout. Key themes include the importance of strong site support, clearer communication, caregiver involvement, and the operational challenges that trial sites face.The group also explores broader issues in patient engagement—from protocol design and long-term communication gaps to the role AI could play in improving support and retention.
