Digital Trials Digest, our quarterly newsletter
Renovia needed a solution to evaluate the efficacy of its leva® Pelvic Health System for treating urinary incontinence, while ensuring ease of use for a busy female population. Of particular importance was enabling real-time symptom tracking and maintaining high patient engagement—without requiring in-person site visits.
In a recent study, we found that caregivers both underreported and overreported certain stool consistencies compared to clinician ratings. We need to make it easier for parents to report in clinical trials. See why digital image capture is an improved method for assessments of treatment efficacy and health status for pediatric GI research.
In the second of our two-part series, we explore how integrating mobile technology into study design can help attract and retain minorities and women as trial subjects.
With travel hampered and clinical trials disrupted, it’s difficult to conduct on-site clinical trial monitoring. The alternative — remote monitoring — has always made sense, but now this cost-effective, time-saving model is rightfully gaining steam. Remote monitoring in clinical trials means monitors don’t visit the site to transfer and review the data. Instead, the data monitoring is done virtually. With the use of digital technology, CROs and study sponsors/stakeholders can see the data from wherever they are located.
DCTs offer an effective avenue for studying what are sometimes considered “taboo” therapeutic areas while respecting participants’ discretion.
In three short years, decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) have turned skeptics into believers. Trial sponsors who were once hesitant are now embracing the DCT model—and for good reason. Today’s DCTs are addressing longstanding industry challenges, expanding access to patients and clinicians, increasing diversity, accelerating cohort recruitment, and improving retention.
When it comes to decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), the pharmaceutical industry finds itself at a crossroads.
For patients with rare, incurable, or life-threatening diseases, clinical trials can offer new hope. Cancer patients, specifically, are often highly motivated to participate in research, particularly when they have an advanced or treatment-resistant form of cancer. Find out how decentralized clinical trials reach patients in the comfort of their homes.
While there's broad agreement on the gap between white and non-white participation in clinical trial enrollment, the number of non-white patients enrolled in clinical trials for general population studies is still quite low. But why?
Digital instruments such as sensors and wearables are transforming the industry’s definition of accuracy in three measures: volume, practicality, and precision.
