#12: Why should I include a patient feasibility study in my trial setup process?

Including a patient feasibility study is crucial because it ensures the trial protocol and related documents are patient-centric. It helps identify and address potential issues from the participant's perspective, which can improve enrollment rates, participant retention, and overall trial success. It's a proactive step to tailor the trial to meet actual patient needs and concerns, leading to more effective and efficient research outcomes.

Conducting a patient feasibility helps to:

1. Refining the study protocol: Patient feedback can help identify and address potential issues with the study design, inclusion criteria, and patient materials, ensuring a more patient-centric and efficient trial.

2. Enhancing patient recruitment: Understanding patient perspectives and concerns can optimize recruitment strategies, leading to better enrollment rates and a more representative patient population.

3. Improving patient engagement: Patient feedback can inform the development of patient-friendly communication materials and study procedures, fostering greater engagement and trust among participants.

4. Reducing trial risks: By identifying potential barriers to participation and addressing patient concerns early on, feasibility studies can help mitigate risks and increase the likelihood of trial success.
