Getting Investigational Drugs to Patients in Decentralized Clinical Trials: Solutions and Key IRT Considerations

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Patient Recruitment & Retention, Drug Discovery & Development,
  • Thursday, April 15, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), which was already increasing due to the benefits of convenience, greater access to treatments by patients, greater access to a more representative population by investigators and reduced burden on site staff. One of the challenges with remote visits is the distribution, tracking, reconciliation and destruction of the investigational medicinal product (IMP), while maintaining the blinding and patient confidentiality. To address this challenge, operational and technological strategies have been implemented in many trials. However, interactive response technology (IRT) solution also has a big role to play in any solution required to support DCTs, today and in the future.

Register for this webinar to hear about the role of interactive response technology in supporting decentralized clinical trials.
