Indication: Chronic pruritis of unknown origin

Goal:

Enrollment period:

9 months

Sponsor-centralized ad campaign: 85 prescreened/2 randomized
Physician referral: 3 prescreened/2 randomized
Database search: 4 prescreened/2 randomized

Challenges:

This was a difficult indication for recruitment. There was an overwhelming response to the sponsor’s central campaign, but it yielded only 2 patients.

Resolution:

During prescreening, we were able to identify underlying causes of the pruritis. Therefore, we were able to exclude non-qualified referrals. This prescreening allowed our team to bring in the most qualified participants. Best indicators for successful enrollment were previous patients and Sanova physician referral.
