Difficulty enrolling patients in a clinical trial can result in costly delays or even termination of the trial. In fact, nearly 80 percent of all trials fail to meet their original enrollment deadline1 and 55 percent of trials are terminated for failure to achieve full enrollment.
Community trials are an extension of field trials. In community trials the study group is the entire community, rather than individuals. Conceptually, the difference is whether or not the intervention is implemented separately for each individual.
Analyses of clinical trial data from 2010 to 2017 show four possible reasons attributed to the 90% clinical failures of drug development: lack of clinical efficacy (40%–50%), unmanageable toxicity (30%), poor drug-like properties (10%–15%), and lack of commercial needs and poor strategic planning (10%)2,4.
One study suggests that 90% of drug development clinical failures may be attributed to four reasons: lack of clinical efficacy (40%-50%), uncontrollable toxicity (30%), poor pharmacokinetic properties (10%-15%), and absence of commercial demand or poor strategic planning (10%).
Recruiting study participants is one of the most challenging tasks in the clinical trial process, and arguably one of the biggest barriers to success in clinical research.
Community-based research offers a notable advantage to smaller, independent practices primarily due to one factor: patients do not have to travel far to participate in a clinical trial, which can boost enrollment and advance scientific knowledge.
Why does 90% of clinical drug development fail? Only 1 out of 10 drug candidates successfully passes clinical trial testing and regulatory approval.
There are two main types of trials or studies - interventional and observational. Interventional trials aim to find out more about a particular intervention, or treatment. Observational studies aim to find out what happens to people in different situations.
Community trials address the efficacy of preventive interventions applied at the group level (e.g., a social marketing campaign trial). Field trials address preventive interventions applied to individuals (e.g., a vaccine trial).
Screening trials test new ways for detecting diseases or health conditions. Diagnostic trials study or compare tests or procedures for diagnosing a particular disease or condition. Treatment trials test new treatments, new combinations of drugs, or new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy.
