Litt transcript om hva Bravo sa på radium podcast /DNB podcast på DNB Health conference 12. desember om PARADIGME og hvordan pasient-rekrutteringen går:
In terms of recruitment of PARADIGME, are you working in a different way now against clinics and hospitals than you were before, is it giving results?
Well, no, it is not that we are working in a different way, I think there is 2 things, 1 we were late with opening the sites, and again I have mentioned the mea culpa many times, it is also in the hands of the CRO, but in the end it is more or less in your hands. It is a complex trial e have opened 24 countries, for a company of our size it is a major undertaking, a complex trial to set up, because you need the nuclear medicine department, you need the hematology department, so the logistics inside the hospital until they recruit and align is not easy, so we underestimated a little bit that difficulty. So we have been late and that have been the biggest reason behind being late. And there is no more we could say than; yes we have been late, and we have probably could have done a little bit better. I think on the recruitment we keep learning what work and what does not, I think there is a definitively we can not put more feets on the ground, I am involved my self and other people are visiting the sites directly and understand the importment of the recruitment, not only for the company but for the compound to get sure that the Betalutin can get to the marked as soon as possible.
But this is a difficult-to-recruit-trial and that many patients, and some sites you do not recruit patients for 3 months and you don’t kno why despite the fact they are very excited and looking for patients. But for some week they may find two patients. So the only thing you can do is be there, be on top of the sites, and really, probably what we are doing now more is try to find reference centers, and try to find hospitals around those centers, and that will send patients, which is the same as increasing the number of sites we found that the administrative burden, and you know like regional hospital may be they get patient they will send the patient for treatment at the site that we have enrolling.
It is a painfull process, we will keep updating the market.
