The two major barriers that affect the progress of the clinical trial are recruitment and retention. It may possible for the few sponsor companies to overcome the problem of recruitment through the establishment of various advertising campaigns but, lot many fail in retaining the customer becomes the major barrier here. In most of the cases the volunteer in the clinical trial are not considered as partners, their importance in the clinical trial is treated as passive rather.
This passiveness towards the volunteers in the clinical trial will result in the less connection between the investigator and the researcher. As there is no proper interaction established between the investigator and volunteer, he/she feels isolated in the clinical trial and the chances of leaving it are high. The solution to participant retention in the clinical trial is clear; they should be treated as active participants in the clinical trial.
