Making Global Local: Tips for Localizing eCOA in Your Global DCTS
eCOA is a common and accepted methodology for global data collection and is among the most oft-used features of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs).

While participants may still need to visit clinics to receive infusion medications in most oncology studies, DCT elements can ease their trial burden by collecting data remotely in between visits. A key component of this strategy is the effective use of electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOA).
