Stakeholders and Therapeutic Areas

APLUSA FIELDSHOP has a database of 270,000+ qualified French HCPs that is continually growing.

We recruit patients using HCP support: physicians identify and invite patients and caregivers to participate in appropriate studies. We also use patient organizations to help recruit patients. Panels are avoided in cases where the diagnosis, severity, and treatment need to be confirmed.
