In an engaging session, a diverse panel of industry experts will discuss how the patient experience impacts trial outcomes and strategies for addressing practical and emotional barriers to participation. This session will feature the first public discussion of findings from a recent study designed to explore the opinions and behaviors of patients and caregivers participating in rare disease clinical trials.
