What Do Real Patients Actually Talk About? 

PANEL MODERATOR:

T. Hephner, CRO, Inspire

Whether at an industry event, a focus group, or another venue, we’ve all heard “real” patients share stories of their conditions, treatment journeys, and lives. But how accurate is what you’ve heard? Are the patients who speak on the podium or in a focus group truly representative of the majority of patients, or do they represent just a small sample? Our panel of patient engagement experts from some of the country’s leading patient advocacy groups and other representative organizations will give the story of what it’s like for most patients to live with illness, including rare and chronic diseases. Join us and learn about the true challenges of disease burden, unmet needs, treatment progression, the challenges-and rewards-of clinical trials, and more.

9:40 am How to Overcome Trial Planning & Recruitment Challenges

Lindsay Stahl, VP, Global Head of Patient Engagement & Recruitment, Citeline

Chiesi Farmaceutici is a multinational pharmaceutical company focused on the development of advanced treatments for respiratory, special care and rare disease patients. In 2023, Chiesi identified a gap in the digital footprint of its clinical research, which affected its efficient, timely recruitment of patients and ability to build strong relationships with trial stakeholders. This prompted Chiesi to closely examine its internal processes/procedures and seek the support of Citeline. The collaboration encompassed both technical and tactical support to drive enrollment and, ultimately, to raise awareness of its clinical research. Through this collaboration, Chiesi learned many valuable lessons along the way, which it will incorporate in the roll-out of its pivotal US-based asthma study on a new environmentally friendly inhaler in 2025 - and elaborate on in this insights-filled session.
