Our participant & caregiver survey closes January 31st! If you haven’t taken or shared it yet, we would be so appreciative if you would.

We created this survey to better understand the participant experience in clinical trials — specifically the costs associated with participating — so that we can better advocate for fair reimbursements. This survey is intended for patients (or caregivers on their behalf) who have participated in or are currently in at least one clinical trial. All responses will remain anonymous.

Thank you in advance for supporting our mission of making it easier to participate in clinical trials 😊

Nearly one-third of Americans are unable to participate in clinical trials due to financial barriers. Even those who do join often face a net loss, as many trials fail to fully reimburse participants (if at all).

That’s why The Patient Kindness Group at Mural Health created a survey to help us advocate for fair compensation and reimbursements in clinical trials, because no one should be denied access to potentially life-saving experimental treatments due to financial strain.

Your story and your experience matter. If you’ve participated in a clinical trial as a patient or a caregiver - or know someone who has - please take or share our survey to help us make a difference!

Clinical trial sponsors: How well do you know your sites and your site coordinators?

If participants are the heart and soul of clinical research, then site coordinators are the lifeblood. How are you showing them kindness and supporting the many hats they wear? Kindness has a domino effect–one that we know can have a serious impact on research outcomes.

Are you a sponsor or site facilitating clinical research? If so, how are you showing toward your participants?

Kindness isn’t just the right thing to do for your participants; it’s the smart thing to do for the success of your trial. Kindness boosts participant well-being, improves satisfaction, and builds TRUST in research. This contributes to better retention, compliance, and treatment outcomes.

Swipe through for ideas on simple yet impactful acts of kindness, brought to you by the Patient Kindness Group at Mural Health. We consider this list non-negotiable! You can also check out our new blog for more on the power and importance of kindness in clinical research: https://hubs.ly/Q02YYtSL0

"I was dismissed by doctors for a good two years. It all started when I was 43 and experiencing frequent sinus infections. New symptoms kept appearing, including a very dry eye. I had been a contact lens wearer for 30 years and suddenly I couldn’t wear them anymore. I felt exhausted and had a gut feeling that something was very wrong. I went to a few doctors and they blamed hormones and allergies. I had an enlarged lymph node in my neck, and for that, they blamed sinus infections. As to the lump I felt in my abdomen, they said it was likely a hernia. Part of me really wanted to believe they were right and that nothing was wrong. But I just knew the doctors were wrong. I eventually took my husband to some of my appointments; he was shocked at the way the doctors treated me."

“I married late, had my son at 40, and had a successful, longtime career in financial services. I worked for the same company for nearly 25 years and eventually became president of the firm. I had a great run. But my job back then was to help other people make money. I was constantly working on the next thing: the next business product, the next market, the next board meeting. I was traveling internationally regularly. After a 12-year, life-threatening cancer journey, I never went back to financial services. It held no appeal anymore. I had a rude, sudden awakening that I needed to stay focused on my health and help other cancer patients on their journeys.”

Last month, Mo Punjwani, BizOps & Strategy at Mural Health, joined thousands of riders in the Pan-Mass Challenge, cycling 210 miles over two days to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. We’re incredibly proud of Mo's dedication to making a difference and how he embodies our values outside of the office.

As Mo shared, “This year feels even more important for so many reasons. Over the last 30 years, the risk of dying from cancer has steadily declined, sparing some 4 million lives in the United States. Thanks to the relentless dedication of so many, advancements in treatment and early cancer detection promise to continue this trend.”

Well done, Mo! We're so grateful to have you on our team!

"He still shows up in my dreams every now and then, but only in the background. And that makes sense. He always worked in the background, making magic behind the scenes as a documentary editor. He never wanted the credit (though it was always given because he was so wonderful). He loved sharing the voices of people who felt voiceless. He loved to bridge together depth and light-heartedness, good and evil, and just take something from the camera and make so much more out of it."
