Coordinating Transportation for Mobility-Limited Participants

This case study outlines the transportation logistics provided by Scout for participants in two multi-site clinical trials. The first trial was a Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled obesity study, while the second was a Phase III study focused on peripheral artery disease. Both studies involved participants with mobility limitations, including those using motorized scooters, and many lived in rural areas, necessitating long travel distances to study sites. Scout's approach included coordinating ground transportation, accommodating mobility devices, and arranging travel for caregivers accompanying participants. The logistics covered various visit types, such as screening, baseline, imaging, and ophthalmology. Scout ensured that transportation was tailored to each participant's needs, facilitating attendance at required visits without burdening the study sites with travel management. This comprehensive support aimed to enhance participation in clinical research for individuals facing mobility challenges.
