Expanding Reach and Impact: Using Tech to Innovate Decentralized Clinical Trials hosted by LaunchBio

Description

Did you know that roughly 70% of potential trial participants live more than two hours from trial sites? Although specific aspects of clinical trials decentralization were in place before the pandemic, COVID-19 has accelerated decentralization and innovative trial design in approaches that are likely here to stay. Decentralization methodologies can create efficiencies, increase engagement, and potentially reduce disparities in clinical trial participation.

While the benefits of decentralized trials are clear, the path to adopting them at scale has been challenging. Further collaboration among stakeholders, including sponsors, investigators, patients, and technology providers will result in continued development of solutions that work to advance patient therapies.

This panel will highlight key technology advances that characterize both decentralized clinical trials and innovative clinical trial design with a focus on the successes, challenges, and effects on the trial participant.
