MMG is a full-service patient recruitment and retention firm with more than 20 years of experience. Founded in 1987 to support patient enrollment across programs for the National Institutes of Health, we have accelerated enrollment in hundreds of trials for pharmaceutical, biotech, government and advocacy group clients, and have expertise in a full range of therapeutic areas, populations, and study types. As a part of Ketchum and Omnicom Group's Diversified Agency Services division, MMG's reach extends to 700 locations in 71 countries, extending our ability to provide effective international health communications.
We implement effective patient recruitment and retention programs globally, taking into consideration cultural differences and ethics committee requirements. Managing patient recruitment and retention for sites worldwide requires a specialized approach involving close contact with in-country teams and clinical research associates (CRAs) as well as careful management of ethics committee reviews. MMG knows which strategies work globally, has extensive experience working with ethics committees, and is sensitive to both local communication preferences and ethics committee requirements.
MMG's comprehensive in-house services provide our clients with a centralized source for all aspects of their patient recruitment programs. Because our services are housed under one roof, we can efficiently accommodate program changes. Our service area teams consistently work together to gain cost efficiencies and shorten timelines within each program we support. This means less worry and expense for our clients.
