Abstract

received 23,000 visits from 9,704 patients with blood cancer worldwide. The engagement rate (patients who answered screening questions) was 6.7% and the match rate was 53 patients per month. The average time for a patient to establish eligibility and connect with a trial site and a research nurse was 13.9 hours. The average number of messages between the patient and the trial nurse was 8.6. The number of matches generated to at least one trial was 446 while 204 profiles were not matched to any of the 25 trials in the programme.Eligibility rate of matched patients compared with the single trial industry standard was 75% compared with 4.7% for the Echelon1 trial
