The TPRA IN-HOUSE media placement team carefully plans all media purchases, taking into consideration budgets, anticipated response rates, enrollment deadlines, risk factors and the anticipated ability to handle responses. In placing media, TPRA goes the extra mile of placing all campaigns locally, based upon local viewing patterns and costs.
TPRA understands the significant impact of media expenditures on a study’s budget, and designs the media plan to ensure that the impact on the budget is accompanied by a proportional impact on enrollment.
Once an initial plan is developed, the plan and all critical assumptions are carefully vetted with all interested parties. Upon approval of the plan, the team places the advertising directly with local media vendors serving the markets where the investigators are located. TPRA maintains solid professional relationships with representatives of over 2,000 local, national and international media stations, strengthening its ability to obtain more media time per dollar than most media buying firms. By purchasing in only those markets where a site is located, TPRA ensures that media dollars are spent in the most cost-efficient manner possible. Before developing and executing the placement strategy, TPRA researches the demographic profile of the indication and performs market research in each local market to choose the medium, format, publication and programs that will yield the greatest call response for the least cost.
Although execution of TPRA’s media buying process is more labor intensive than buying media from media brokers or buying simple station rotators (a common occurrence), the excellent results achieved by TPRA with this strategy make the extra effort worthwhile. The entire process is performed IN-HOUSE and TPRA charges nothing more than the industry standard commission for media placement for its work in planning, coordinating and placing the media. Purchasing media at the program level from only local media vendors and executing the entire process without management fees is one of the ways that TPRA separates itself from its competitors.
TPRA is the performance, price, technology and metrics leader in the industry and has proven that its unique model generates a greater call response from a higher percentage of qualified patients. TPRA’s technology platform, RADIUS 365™, is the clinical research industry’s first ever complete investigator based online portal for tracking and managing all response, referral and retention activities in real-time...from the first call attempt to the last clinic visit.

Q-center™ Patient Pre-qualifying Service
RADIUS 365™is a comprehensive set of centralized communication, support and management tools gathered into one technological platform, encompassing all of the tools needed to maximize patient recruiting and retention throughout a study. With RADIUS 365™, all call and web responses are tracked and reported in real-time by market, by medium, by site, by date and by time of day. Investigator activities are recorded as they use RRADIUS 365™to access and manage all response and referrals; RADIUS 365™ is able to track all site activities electronically. This information is in turn reported in real-time to the Sponsor and CRO or SMO.
The power of RADIUS 365™ derives from its ability to simultaneously increase the investigators’ effectiveness while facilitating electronic reporting of their activity without the cost, time and intrusion of manually collecting data for site activity reports. The benefits that flow from this convergence are tremendous and include: supportive and more productive investigators, greater accountability of everyone involved in the study (including TPRA), more effective advertising, less waste and a higher rate of timely study completions.
RADIUS 365™ is the most powerful and comprehensive platform of services and technologies for tracking and managing all recruiting and retention efforts from the first telephone call attempt to the last clinic visit. By continually developing new, cost-efficient methods to increase performance, results and accountability, TPRA actively demonstrates why its proven solutions make it The Leader In Successful PATIENT RECRUITING & RETENTION.
