With the recent activities in the news and bad press on how clinical trials are being conducted, is it any surprise enough patients can't be found...says a lot for the lack of trust on how trials are ran and reported today...so now we have more organizations to promote enrolling participants...would be better to improve the process and restore trust in the process rather than create additional web sites, which are a maize anyway to 
encourage more participants...in addition, the average lay person may not have the foggiest idea as to the over all process and what side effects may be encountered as well...time to review this process and fix it...too fragmented and of course directed towards profits overall...so something to think about before they donate their body to scientific research....besides who has the time as a potential guinea pig...not a very inviting process in it's current state....BD
There are lots of clinical questions doctors would like to answer, but they’re left waiting at the gate because they can’t find enough patients to sign up for studies. Meanwhile, lots of patients who might benefit from experimental treatments go without because they don’t know where to look.
A bunch of non-profit organizations and at least one private company are rushing in to try and match patients with suitable trials, the WSJ reports.
