How To Overcome Operational Challenges with DCT Implementation
One of the challenges some sponsors face in designing decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) is getting the data to flow through the trial efficiently from multiple sources. How do you get data passed smoothly from digital recruitment to eConsent to enrollment? What happens when you need data from both EDC and DCT platforms to synchronize for a specific participant?
Decentralized Clinical Trial Tools that Increase Patient Retention
Sponsors and CROs alike understand the potential to bring trials out of the clinic and to geographically dispersed patients for better recruitment, retention and trial success. Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) are becoming one of the most dynamic ways to expand clinical research opportunities and health outcomes globally.
How to Use Real World Data to Maximize Patient Recruitment in DCTs
In the clinical trial space, RWD helps support research design, protocol and patient engagement goals. Perhaps the most immediate way clinical research leaders can harness the power of RWD is as a tool for optimized patient recruitment.
3 Tips for Applying DCT Approaches in Rare Disease Trials
Decentralized clinical trial (DCT) approaches can be extremely useful in helping to facilitate clinical research participation for rare disease patient populations. That said, many sponsors new to conducting studies that include DCT elements may need some help getting started. Following are some tips based on THREAD’s experience helping sponsors to select and execute DCT approaches for their rare disease studies.
