Here are five real-life examples of this strategy at-work.

Real World Data and Evidence Revolutionize Clinical Research

The U.S. FDA is aware the drug approval process can often be strenuous, consuming large amounts of time and money. That’s why they’ve made a commitment to consider real-world evidence in the approval of new drug indications resulting in a more efficient approach for manufacturers.

Going Virtual: Succeeding Where Traditional Clinical Trials Fail

ObvioHealth, a digital CRO, recently completed a clinical trial solely using a virtual site model (no physical site visits) which would have likely proved futile in the traditional study format, of which requires multiple site visits. This article will further analyze the rationale behind this claim.

PI Perspective: Our Formula to Curb Clinical Trial Dropouts

Our team recently completed a clinical trial tasked with measuring the efficacy of a dietary supplement as an intervention for adults with an elevated blood pressure, or stage I hypertension.

All clinical trials require resource consumption from both the study team and participant. The following infographic will detail the differences in resources required in the digital (hybrid) model compared to that of the traditional “brick and mortar” model.

An Alternate Approach to the Traditional Recruitment Nightmare

Digital patient-centric clinical trials (PCT) are often carried out in the hybrid setting (minimizing site visits and maximizing the use of a virtual site), or the site-less setting (solely using the virtual site). The pairing of a digitalized PCT with social media targeting increases the probability of successful enrollment.
