It’s not likely that clinical trials will become 100% virtual in the near future since there are still a number of factors that necessitate in-person visits. However, remote visits are ideal for certain types of visits, for instance those that require study wellness...

The tide is turning in regard to hybrid Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCT) as sponsors and CROs are increasing including virtual visits into new study protocols. Virtual visits reduce the burden on patients and thereby are a great resource for increasing patient...

Mounting evidence is pointing to a likely scenario, at least in the short-term, for the evolution of clinical research and how virtual trials will fit in. After reviewing pilot test results, patient feedback, and research coordinators’ input, several industry experts...

There’s a lot of talk about patient centricity in the clinical trial space these days. But what exactly is changing in the industry to make trials more patient centric? The leadership team at VirTrial…

To a research site, the concept of running a clinical trial with no in-clinic visits seemed unrealistic only eight years ago. Today it is front-page news in many industries and mainstream publications. Disruptive technology is changing the industry in a big way and...
