“Strategies for success when every patient counts: Enhancing retention and protocol compliance in ultra-rare and genetic disorders”

In rare and genetic disorder trials, every patient is critical—attrition cannot be absorbed without risking timelines, data integrity, and study viability. In this session, Kris O’Brien will share practical strategies to strengthen patient retention and protocol compliance in ultra-rare and genetic disease programs. Drawing on real-world case studies, the discussion will focus on embedding retention into trial strategy through early planning, patient-centric design, and collaboration with patient communities. Designed for sponsors running rare and ultra-rare studies where every participant truly counts.
