Studio for CROs

Traditionally, clinical trials have relied heavily on centralized sites and face-to-face interactions between researchers and participants. However, the limitations of this model have become increasingly apparent, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted an unprecedented emergence of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), whose characteristics of remote patient engagement, virtual assessments, and mobile health technologies allowed the healthcare industry to continue drug development (albeit at a slower pace).  As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, DCTs are emerging as a vital component of the clinical research ecosystem. By leveraging technology and data to streamline processes and the need to enroll a greater diverse patient population, DCTs promise enhanced patient engagement, improved data quality, and accelerated study timelines. As with everything in life, nothing is always that simple. In this blog, we will explore the future of decentralized clinical trials and look at the challenges faced by sponsors, sites, and patients when planning, implementing, and running a DCT. We will also discuss how Medable is continuously adapting its platform and software capabilities to reduce risks and provide solutions that allow the benefits of DCTs listed above to be fully realized.

DCTs have transformed from a disruptive force challenging the norm to an integral concept, now widely embraced in the clinical trial landscape. Join us for this upcoming Clinical Leader Live session, where experts will explore the current landscape, highlighting the positive impact of DCTs and their transition from innovation to indispensable practice in the era of evidence generation and modern clinical trials.
