Community-based models are transforming how – and where – patients access clinical trials. Yet the day-to-day realities of engaging communities and building trust while maintaining rigorous investigator oversight often remain unseen. This webinar examines what it takes to operationalize decentralized trials within diverse communities.
The featured speakers will explore real-world logistics, partnerships and clinical considerations involved in bringing research directly to patients. Topics will include working with underrepresented and research-naïve populations, coordinating care across community settings and managing study complexity while meeting regulatory expectations and protocol requirements. Attendees will leave with practical strategies that support feasibility and impact when studies meet people where they are.
Register for this webinar to learn how community-based trials can expand access while supporting rigorous oversight and reliable execution.
