MRN specializes in the conduct of clinical trial visits in the patient’s home and supporting clinical trial sites with nursing resources. We believe in reducing the burden of participation on patients and reducing the burden on participation on sites - building more patient-centric clinical trials.
MRN offers two core services in the management of complex clinical trials:
Home Trial Support (HTS) is the conduct of clinical trial visits in the patient’s home. This replaces a number of protocol defined visits which would normally take place onsite, and relocates them in the patient’s home – reducing the burden of the trial on the patient and significantly boosting patient recruitment and maximizing patient retention. With HTS, sites can recruit patients from a wider geographical region and reach a larger patient pool, as well as increase their consenting and retention rates. We have seen that reducing the burden on patients directly increases recruitment by 60% or more and typically maintains patient retention at over 95%, as well as reducing the burden on clinical sites.
Site Nurse Support (SNS) places experienced research nurses into sites to manage trials; this enables each site to focus on patient identification and selection, as well as facilitating performance of all procedures in a timely manner. Placements can be made at single sites, or nursing teams can be pulled together to support sites across whole countries or trials. With SNS, sites have a dedicated resource to identify and screen patients from the increased patient pool effectively.
Together, the impact of these services can result in an increase of up to 600% of completed patients per site.
MRN is a recognized leader in the Home Trial Support clinical trials field. We have a geographical coverage of over 40 countries where we can provide our services. Headquartered in the UK and with offices in North America and Spain, our Vendor Contracts and Management Team (VCMT) have enabled us to conduct Home Trial support visits across all major clinical research countries spanning North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia
Site Networks – Expanding Trial Reach Into Global Communities And Accelerating Enrollment Timelines November 20, 2024 4:55am
Author: MRN When patient recruitment accounts for approximately 1/3 of a clinical trial budget,1 there is little to no room for error. Except that is exactly what keeps happening. Sponsors and CROs are using the same sites for their clinical trials, which means they are repeatedly returning to the same patient cohorts. This sees those […]

Accelerating timelines by bringing clinical trials to patients’ communities October 8, 2024 6:44am
Clinical trials are complex, filled with many moving pieces. Like a machine, those components must work together or the whole project can fall apart. Every day lost due to failure in recruitment and retention of patients incurs a cost – and one that may not always be retrievable. Take a snapshot look at what causes […]
