Patient-Centered Trials -- The Tip of the Iceberg

It looks like we are starting a revolution.

Stakeholders from pharma to sites to patients are rallying around the concept of putting the patient back at the center of clinical trials, empowering them as true participants.

The story was covered earlier this year in my interview with Future Pharmaceuticals and this month in my interview with Centerwatch Monthly ("Moving Toward a Patient-Centered Clinical Trial Model", subscription required). And I have been evangelizing at meetings and conferences for several months (with another 3 conference presentations in the next month).

Today you can also add the site perspective to the mix, courtesy of Dan Sfera and his blog at theClinicalTrialsGuru.com. Take a look at his perspective in today's posting "Patient-Centered Clinical Trials".
