The National Cancer Institute announced the launch of a new online resource, AccrualNet, in response to needs expressed by clinical trials professionals and investigators. Despite dedicated clinical trial recruitment efforts, successful accrual remains a challenge, with only 3-5% of potentially eligible cancer patients enrolling in clinical trials.
AccrualNet is designed for practicing professionals to support clinical trial accrual needs. The web site is a repository for literature and other resources and serves as a 'community of practice' to encourage dialog and discussion. AccrualNet includes:
- Linkable access to existing tools and materials your colleagues are currently using
- A searchable, annotated list of published journal articles on clinical trial recruitment
- A space to ask questions, post tips, share experiences, insight, materials and strategies
- Training opportunities available to orient and educate new staff to successful recruitment strategies
