Procedure
The right match
for every study.
ARC can recruit patients from a detailed database of more than 10,000 patients with different pathologies. To this end, our research centre works closely with the Anima medical centre.
Through this database and our specific internal consent process, we are able to select the right patients based on their clinical characteristics (co-morbidities, medical history, attitude).
ARC has a proven track record of being the largest recruiting center both nationally and internationally. For all recent studies especially these in innovative vaccines as well as central nervous system disorders, ARC was repeatedly number 1, worldwide. Currently ARC is the largest recruiter in the world for various ongoing studies.
In all studies in which ARC participates, there is a high quality recruitment because of the in-house developed targeted recruitment and consent process that is explained in more detail in the chart.
Longlist
ARC can recruit patients from a detailed database of over 10,000 patients. We can also supplement this with referrals from surrounding doctors' practices and hospitals. We also have experience with advertising through (social) media. Patients who register are first extensively pre-screened via a medical questionnaire.
Shortlist
Thanks to this database and our specific internal consent process, we are able to preselect the right patients based on their clinical characteristics (co-morbidities, medical history, attitude).
Contact
The selected patients are then contacted by one of our doctors.
This is followed by a telephone call to set up an appointment.
Make an appointment
An appointment is made for the next step.
Informed consent process by (PI/Sub-PI)
The information and consent interview is always conducted by the PI or sub-PI of the clinical trial as defined in our internal procedure (SOP).
