Summary

This study investigates whether using agile methods—a flexible, collaborative approach—can improve how patient partners and research sites work together during a large diabetes trial. Researchers will compare sites using agile engagement with those using standard methods, measuring effects on recruitment, medication adherence, and participant retention. The goal is to see if better engagement leads to better research outcomes.

Active substance
agile engagement methods
What this could lead to
If agile methods improve engagement, this could lead to more efficient and collaborative multi-site clinical trials.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial within another study, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is a process change, not a treatment, so direct patient benefits are indirect.
