Integrated Clinical Trial Services Launches New Service
ICTS Introduces Patient Pre-Consent Information Program

RALEIGH, N.C. – Tom Sturgis, President of Integrated Clinical Trial Services (ICTS) has announced that the firm has introduced a new Pre-Consent Information Program, which enhances the recruitment and retention of patients in clinical studies. By utilizing a professionally produced video program, potential study volunteers are able to review important aspects of a clinical trial in the comfort of their own home. They are also able to share their thoughts, feelings and concerns with their loved-ones and personal healthcare professionals. The program enables study coordinators to maximize enrollment in studies and provide important legal and study information to patients. Available in different languages, the program is delivered on DVD, VHS tape or on paper depending on individual and study needs. Enabling a volunteer to have a better understanding of the informed consent process through a video presentation provides consistent delivery of this vital information.

“Informed consent is an important part of any clinical trial,” said Sturgis. “Providing the correct information in a format that is best for the patient means improved clinical studies. We are pleased to be able to offer an enhanced pre-consent program.”
