  • control unit is configured to identify one or more drug studies in the database based on the received data
  • controller is configured to cause the dispenser to display information about the one or more identified drug trials to the potential participant.
  • Another object of the present invention is a computer program product comprising a data carrier and program code which is stored on the data carrier and which causes a computer in whose main memory the program code is loaded to carry out the following steps:
  • Identify one or more drug trials based on the data received display information about the one or more drug trials to a potential participant in the one or more drug trials.
  • Another object of the present invention is the use of an individual identifier, which is attached to a single pack of a medicament, for recruiting participants for a medicament study, characterized in that a potential participant enters data of the individual identifier into a computer, identify one or more drug trials based on the data and display information to the potential participant about the one or more drug trials.
  • participant is understood to mean a person who uses medical services (patient) and voluntarily takes part in a drug study.
  • patient includes female participants; the same applies to the terms “potential participant” and "patient”.
  • the term "potential participant” is understood to mean a patient who is examining and / or for whom it is being examined whether he can participate in a pharmaceutical study. If he is ready to take part in a drug study himself and if he fulfills the requirements to take part in the drug study, he can register for the drug study. By registering, he becomes a participant. The registration includes his informed consent.
  • drug study is understood to mean a study in which interventional or non-interventional effects of one or more drugs are researched or proven and / or convinced of the benefit-risk balance and / or the safety and / or effectiveness of the drug (s) becomes.
  • the drug study for which patients are to be recruited is preferably a non-interventional study.
  • a "non-interventional study” is an investigation in the context of which findings from the treatment of people with medicinal products are analyzed using epidemiological methods; Thereby, the treatment, including the diagnosis and monitoring, does not follow a predetermined test plan, but only the medical practice; insofar as it is a medicinal product that is subject to authorization or authorization, this is also done in accordance with the information specified in the authorization or approval for its use.
  • the drug trial for which patients are to be recruited is preferably a phase IV trial.
  • the term "medicinal product” or synonymously “medicament” is understood to mean a substance or a substance composition which is used for healing or for preventing human beings Diseases is determined or is suitable for influencing physiological functions or enables medical diagnosis.
  • the drug that is the subject of the study is preferably an already approved drug that has already been placed on the market by a pharmaceutical company and can thus be purchased by a patient, for example in a pharmacy. It is preferably a prescription drug.
  • the recruitment of patients according to the invention for one or more drug studies is carried out with the aid of an individual identifier that is attached to a single pack of a drug.
  • the individual identifier comprises the following data elements: product code, serial number, batch name and expiry date.
  • product code serial number
  • batch name expiry date
  • this information is also in plain text on the individual pack.
  • the drug can be specified via the product code, i.e. it can be determined which medicine it is.
  • the combination of product code and serial number is unique worldwide for each pharmaceutical pack (at least for a defined period).
  • the specified data elements are printed on the packaging of the medicinal product in the form of a machine-readable two-dimensional code (e.g. data matrix code).
  • the packaging and the medicinal product contained therein form a single pack, individualized by the individual identifier.
  • the data elements of the individual identifier are additionally stored in a database (verification database). If a single pack is given to a patient in a pharmacy, for example, the pharmacist must first read the two-dimensional code using a reader. This triggers a check of the product code and serial number against the verification database; it is checked whether the combination of product code and serial number is available and whether a single pack with this combination is already noted as "submitted” in the verification database. If the combination of product code and serial number is available and the single pack has not yet been "dispensed", the pharmacist can dispense it to the patient. If the single pack is delivered after positive feedback, the status of the single pack is set to "delivered".
  • the individual identifier makes an individual single pack recognizable. Since an individual single pack is usually only used by a single person (especially if it is a prescription drug), the individual identifier can be used to also identify the owner of the single pack on which the individual identifier is applied ( identifiable).
  • the individual identifier on the individual pack is thus a personal admission ticket, which can be used to register the person for one or more drug studies.
  • the individual identifier or an individual characteristic derived therefrom can also be used as a unique identifier of the person as a participant in one or more drug studies.
  • the individual identifier can be used to determine the corresponding medicinal product and, if applicable, the indication for which the medicinal product is approved on the basis of the product code.

  • the reading device can be a component of the computer via which the portal is accessed, or it can be connected to this computer (via a cable connection or wirelessly, for example via Bluetooth or WLAN).
  • the reader is configured to read out an individual identifier. Since the individual identifier according to the delegated regulation (EU) 2016/161 is printed on the packaging of the drug as a machine-readable two-dimensional code (e.g. as a QR code or data matrix code), the reader can be designed as a camera, for example. A camera is usually part of smartphones and tablet computers. However, the reader can also be a separate scanner / camera for two-dimensional codes.
