In this free webinar, learn about the advantages of integrating virtual-first or optimized elements in modern clinical trials. Attendees will understand the importance of and gain expert tips on integrating centralized oversight and technology in optimized trials. The featured speakers will explore how the decentralized approach will improve patient recruitment and retention, clinical trial diversity and the patient–physician relationship towards better clinical outcomes.

TORONTO, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Discover an informative webinar that focuses on the advantages of blending decentralized clinical trial (DCT) elements with traditional site approaches to improve patient enrollment, retention and diversity, as well as how these trials capitalize on the patient–physician relationship to expedite the development of new therapies.

Clinical research is not functioning optimally. It takes 7–13 years to develop a new drug with 85 percent of trials missing their targeted timelines, most having less than 15 percent minority representation, and some having as high as a 30 percent dropout rate.1

The industry has tried several approaches to mitigate these problems, one of the most recent being decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). Trials with decentralized elements — coined "optimized" or "virtual-first trials" — do help with common research challenges, evidenced by their widespread, growing adoption.2,3 This is also because they prioritize patient comfort and access.

In this webinar, the expert panel will have an in-depth discussion of optimized trials and how they lead to more efficiency and successful patient enrollment, retention and diversity. The expert speakers will introduce the concept of virtual-first trials, offering detailed explanations of the benefits of using a mix of DCT elements and traditional sites as well as research technology and centralized oversight.

They will also dig into the importance of the trusted patient–physician relationship in both healthcare and research, explaining how optimized trials harness this relationship to accelerate the development of new medicines and therapies. Finally, they will walk through the possible challenges of running an optimized or virtual-first trial, from managing technology to patient recruitment, and provide solutions for each that have been proven in real-world research.

Register for this webinar today to explore the transformative potential of decentralized clinical trials and how optimized and virtual-first trials are addressing longstanding challenges in clinical research.
