Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients' Perspectives of Clinical Trials: A Global Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite recent progress, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapies with pronounced long-term efficacy and improved safety are needed. IBD clinical trials face challenges with patient recruitment because of study designs, competitive or overlapping trials, and limited numbers of eligible patients. We aimed to better understand patients' awareness of, attitudes toward, and experience with IBD clinical trials.

Methods

This multinational, cross-sectional cohort study of adults with IBD recruited online consisted of 2 components: a quantitative 15-minute online survey completed by all participants and a qualitative 30-minute telephone interview completed by a subset of patients from the United States.

Results
