Decentralized Clinical Trials:
Best Practices for Designing a Flexible, Resilient Protocol
AI Webinar Explorer now available for enhanced on-demand viewing
About this webinar
As drug development sponsors are incorporating patient-centric elements into their traditional clinical trial designs, there are several factors to consider during the study planning phase. Whether using telemedicine, mobile nursing services, laboratory support, patient service centers, investigational product management, or a combination of these elements, it is important to develop an operational strategy that allows for flexibility and accounts for complete oversight of each connection point between patients, service providers and the sponsor.
Join this educational webinar to learn best practices for designing a customizable protocol centered around leveraging technology to reduce patient and site burden, streamline data collection and endpoint analysis and optimize study design to support study continuity. Through lessons learned during the global pandemic, the speakers will discuss how to quickly accommodate today’s current studies to function in a decentralized model.
This webinar will also discuss lessons learned for planning ahead to seamlessly apply this approach for future trials. By walking through several real-life examples and providing innovative solutions to traditional schedule of assessments to create operationally sound decentralized clinical trials, the speakers will share insights for operational planning, management of integrated technologies and change management to better equip sponsors with the tools and resources to design a more flexible and resilient protocol focused on patient-centric solutions.
