Meet Sesen at DIA 2025 in Washington, D.C.
Join us June 15–19 at Booth #2013 to explore global clinical and regulatory language solutions.
Accelerating Global Patient Recruitment and Retention with Language Translation
Sesen delivers specialized translation and localization solutions that empower CROs to engage diverse patient populations, minimize enrollment delays, and enhance long-term retention—across 150+ languages and regulatory environments.
Global Patient Enrollment: Language + Local Insight
Effective patient recruitment and retention are among the most critical—and resource-intensive—components of clinical trial success. Delays in enrollment and high dropout rates contribute significantly to extended timelines, increased costs, and compromised data integrity.
In today’s globalized trial landscape, engaging diverse patient populations requires more than basic translation. It demands culturally adapted communication, regulatory-compliant documentation, and localized outreach strategies that resonate across languages, regions, and communities.
Sesen combines specialized life sciences translation services with international patient recruitment support—leveraging our global linguist network and in-market expertise. From multilingual ICFs to full-scale outreach coordination, we help CROs and sponsors accelerate enrollment, improve retention, and reduce trial risk across all geographies.
