Greetings from the forefront of innovation in clinical trials. We’re thrilled to introduce you to the first edition of our medication adherence newsletter, Medication Monitoring Matters. Our focus? Empowering clinical trial sponsors like you to elevate the standard of care through improved adherence.
We’ll be sharing valuable insights, best practices, and the latest advancements in technology that can help you achieve more reliable and accurate trial results. With each issue, you’ll be joining us on a journey to bring the power of effective medication adherence to the forefront of clinical trials.
Let’s get started!
This Month’s Thoughts and Ideas
Medication Adherence Technology: Bridging the Gap Between Drug Trials and Real World?
As the industry strives for increased diversity in research, a significant challenge stands in the way: poor medication adherence. This hindrance clouds the true picture of how drugs perform in real-world scenarios, ultimately jeopardizing drug development. Bernard Vrijens, a visionary leader at AARDEX Group, experts in medication adherence technology, poses a thought-provoking question: are Intention-to-Treat (ITT) analyses enough to overcome this deficiency?

Why Near-Perfect Medication Adherence Often Equates to Toxicity
The WHO has shed light on the consequences of poor adherence for prisoners, highlighting the pervasive health inequalities in our world. But it’s not just poor adherence that poses a problem; near-perfect adherence can also be problematic in the drug development landscape. When medication administration is nearly compulsory in a prison setting, individuals can fall into the “compliance trap,” taking their medications exactly as prescribed, but with potentially toxic consequences. It all starts in the critical stage of clinical trials.
