About this webinar
Clinical trials don’t fail in the lab — they fail in the living room. When protocols don’t account for the realities of patients’ daily lives, the consequences show up as missed doses, dropout, and delayed timelines that could have been prevented.
In this session, Inspire’s Senior Director of Scientific Solutions & Strategy, Joseph L. Smith, PhD, MPH, MBA, explores how integrating patient and caregiver insights before protocol lock can dramatically reduce risk — uncovering burden, confusion, and access barriers at the stage when it’s still possible to act on them.
Attendees gain clarity on:
- How patient and caregiver insights reveal hidden protocol burdens before they become enrollment or retention problems
- What early-stage feasibility research actually looks like — and where it has the most impact
- How to identify confusion and access barriers that trial teams and sponsors often don’t see
- Practical strategies for designing more patient-centered protocols that strengthen retention from the start
Who should watch: Professionals in clinical development, clinical operations, patient engagement, and medical affairs who want to design trials that are more feasible, more human — and far less prone to preventable surprises.
