Focus on decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) has taken a massive leap over the course of the pandemic. COVID-19 forced an accelerated use of telemedicine, home health options and digital applications to keep studies running. Emerging from COVID-19, the use of decentralized solutions continues to rise worldwide. Although somewhat slower to adopt, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has seen a dramatic shift in elements critical to implementation of decentralized solutions, including emerging clarity in regulatory guidance and greater acceptance of home health services, which will serve as important drivers of accelerated future use of decentralized clinical trials.
As APAC developers continue to explore opportunities to incorporate decentralized clinical trials into their clinical strategies, understanding what is working well in other markets – whether it be with the intent of leveraging to bring their asset into those markets or with an eye toward adapting these best practices to the unique APAC landscape – is key to success.
Register for this webinar to learn best practices for decentralized clinical trials implementation and how these can be applied to APAC trials.

Russell has more than 12 years of experience in the CRO environment. As a global project manager he has managed large, global, phase II/III studies in a variety of areas, primarily focused on rare disease respiratory studies. As a project manager he implemented decentralized solutions and saw the need for the industry to continue to grow in decentralized offerings to best meet patient and client needs. Russell now serves as a DCT Manager working to guide the project team within Syneos Health to help studies effectively apply decentralized solutions that decrease the patient and site burden and enhance clinical trial outcomes.
Before joining the Syneos Health decentralized solutions team, Russell worked at IQVIA and PAREXEL in clinical and project management roles. He received his BBA from James Madison University.
