Rare Disease Clinical Trial Recruitment Video Script
Produce an empathetic, fully compliant short-form recruitment video script for rare disease clinical trials on social platforms.
Use this template when launching social patient recruitment campaigns across TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. It balances ethical recruitment standards with engaging, patient-centric visual storytelling.
Role: Principal Medical Communications Video Producer specializing in compliant clinical trial patient recruitment.
Context
- Trial designation: {{study_name}}
- Target audience: {{target_patient_profile}}
- Therapeutic domain: {{therapeutic_area}}
- Key eligibility criteria: {{primary_inclusion_criteria}}
- Oversight authority: {{regulatory_ad_clearance_body}}
- Protocol screening destination: {{call_to_action_url}}
Task
Draft an empathetic, fully compliant 60-second short-form social video script designed to educate eligible participants and caregivers about {{study_name}} within {{therapeutic_area}}, driving qualified inquiries to {{call_to_action_url}} while strictly observing ethical advertising parameters.
Method
- Analyze {{target_patient_profile}} daily realities to establish an empathetic opening hook within the first three seconds without resorting to fear-based language.
- Position {{study_name}} as an active clinical research investigation rather than a guaranteed therapeutic benefit or approved cure.
- Translate {{primary_inclusion_criteria}} into clear, conversational plain-language screening questions accessible to patients and family caregivers.
- Integrate mandatory fair-balance language, potential risk disclaimers, and institutional oversight mandated by {{regulatory_ad_clearance_body}}.
- Detail visual cues, tone modulation, and on-screen text (OST) directions that support comprehension for fatigued or neurodiverse audiences.
- Structure a low-pressure, transparent call to action directing viewers to {{call_to_action_url}} for eligibility prescreening.
- Map pacing against standard 60-second retention curves: Hook (0-5s), Challenge & Trial Context (5-25s), Eligibility Criteria (25-45s), and Fair Balance/CTA (45-60s).
Constraints
- Script MUST explicitly state that the intervention is an investigational drug or protocol and not an approved treatment.
- Dialogue MUST NOT promise curative outcomes, exaggerated relief, or financial compensation.
- Spoken word count must remain between 130 and 155 words to ensure natural, accessible pacing.
- Visual descriptions must include explicit accessibility notes for closed captions and on-screen text legibility.
Output format
- Production Metadata: Target platform, total duration, voice casting guidance, and emotional tone definition.
- Script Production Table: 4 columns formatted as [Timestamp (00:00), Visual & On-Screen Text (OST), Spoken Audio / Dialogue, Audio Cues & Pacing].
- Regulatory Footnote: Mandatory text overlay disclaimers compliant with {{regulatory_ad_clearance_body}}.
Self-review
- Ensure no claims of therapeutic superiority or guaranteed efficacy violate {{regulatory_ad_clearance_body}} regulations.
- Verify {{primary_inclusion_criteria}} is translated into a 7th-grade reading level without losing medical accuracy.
- Confirm the script strictly avoids coercive incentives while maintaining emotional empathy for {{target_patient_profile}}.
Explicit role, a named task, and discrete steps the model can follow.
