TrialWire today announced expanded guidance for sponsors and CROs preparing for the holiday enrollment slowdown, helping teams avoid the January Patient Cliff with AI-powered recruitment that continues working while sites and teams operate on reduced schedules.

Keeping recruitment warm when calendars go quiet

The platform supports always-on referral capture, AI-assisted pre-screening, and site-ready patient handoffs so recruitment momentum does not reset after the holidays. Sponsors can return in January with a more active pipeline rather than starting again from zero.

“Recruitment pauses are expensive, especially when January begins with empty pipelines,” said Susan Fitzpatrick-Napier, Founder and CEO of TrialWire. “TrialWire helps teams keep qualified patient interest moving through the holiday period so studies can restart faster.”

The holiday recruitment guidance is now available for sponsors planning Q4 and January enrollment strategies.
