Decentralized trials provide a more patient centric approach to clinical trials. The patients are not burdened with visiting the sites on a regular basis, where various physiological and clinical parameters are captured. With decentralized trials,
there is a heavy reliance on technology for data collection. Digital technologies such as telemedicine, wearables/sensor devices, eConsent, eCOA, etc. are leveraged quite a bit. The use of mHealth mobile apps are also being used for patient reported
diaries, etc. The accuracy of the data should improve as it is electronically sourced right from the patient. The focus within the study teams moves from data cleansing and review to identifying issues using data science methods.
In line with the technological changes DCT will bring about and the increase in the volume and variety of data being captured, RBM solutions will need to take a modern big data approach for data to be managed, aggregated and processed quickly. Statistical
models will also need to be better leveraged to signal patient safety or operational risks within the study.
- Learn how transformation to patient-centric approach affects all things data – data reliability & quality, role of data surveillance
- Learn about the opportunity and challenges of doing real-time data capture, given the increase in variety and velocity of data sets to support site-less / remote trials
- Learn what new data quality, standardization and submission readiness challenges will arise
- Learn about advanced risk models to ensure quicker identification of safety issues
