Founded in 1983, BBK Worldwide is a patient recruitment and e-business solution company for the clinical R&D and product marketing segments of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries.

Staffed by some of the industry’s principal thought leaders, BBK continually contributes ideas that accelerate and advance the clinical development cycle. The most current advancement is the formation of BBK’s TCN e-Sytsems, LLC, a technology enterprise that harnesses the power of the Web to streamline patient recruitment processes. TCN e-Sytems’ suite of modular products and services address key patient recruitment risk areas, allowing clinical study sponsors the power to build customized toolkits to solve enrollment issues.

BBK also has recently formed the BBK Worldwide Alliance, an international network of service providers that enables study sponsors to cost effectively facilitate recruitment, informed consent, and study participation for widely diverse patient populations through programs and materials that are culturally relevant and educationally appropriate.

BBK has helped to accelerate time to market for new medicines and treatments by successfully supporting hundreds of clinical studies in more than 60 countries, and in all major therapeutic areas.

BBK Worldwide helps sponsors scale the major hurdles to maximizing their study’s enrollment potential –such as enrollment projection modeling, effective site selection, investigator and site staff training, accurate measurement of site performance, gauging the pace of patient recruitment, and even CRO assessment and how to identify and control clinical trials costs.

BBK’s offerings are powered by TCN e-Systems, a Web-based, e-business solution for clinical trial patient recruitment. Each TCN e-System has as its core a highly compatible and flexible technology platform. Purchasers select tactical e-business product enhancements and elective services – custom e-business toolkits – to address their particular patient recruitment challenges.

The platform, products, and services are organized into six distinct modules, which correspond to the six, key study enrollment risk areas that often require patient recruitment intervention. The six TCN e-Systems modules are:

• Module 1. Study Forecaster^SM: for planning, reporting, monitoring, and redeployment activities, displayed in easy-to-evaluate charts and graphs.
• Module 2. Site Optimizer^SM: for selecting the most appropriate sites and ensuring they are adequately trained.
• Module 3. Patient Generator: for conducting efficient and effective patient recruitment outreach and tracking.
• Module 4. Study Materials & Approval Tracker: for developing, gaining, and tracking regulatory approvals of study materials.
• Module 5. Retention & Compliance: for maintaining study participation and compliance with protocols.
• Module 6. Study Community Builder: for facilitating study community training and communication.

The Ideal Infrastructure
TCN e-Systems instantaneously establishes distinct operational and technological advantages, such as expedited campaign start-up and development, and on-demand reporting using real-time recruitment and enrollment data. In so doing, TCN e-Systems offers the fulcrum by which any efficient and cost-effective modern patient recruitment effort should be conducted.

Creative Services
BBK also offers the services of its specialized creative and design group, EP Studio, which provides creative solutions to healthcare branding challenges: whether marketing approved products, conditioning the market for investigational treatments, or supporting research sites with patient educational and outreach materials. EP studio is composed of copywriters, art directors, and production managers who apply BBK’s 23 years of cumulative integrated healthcare marketing and patient recruitment expertise.
