Navigating Vendor Integration in Decentralized Clinical Trials
As clinical trials rapidly evolve, the integration of advanced technology and decentralized trial (DCT) methodologies has fundamentally transformed participant engagement and data collection. Even in traditional site-based studies, sponsors are increasingly leveraging Participant-Reported Outcomes (PROs) and digital health technologies (DHTs) to capture real-time insights into treatment efficacy, disease progression, and participant well-being.
Mitigating Missing Data in Digitally-Derived Clinical Trials: A Proactive Clinical Operations Framework
As digital health technologies (DHTs), wearables, and decentralized clinical trial models become standard in modern drug and device development, digitally-derived endpoints offer unprecedented continuous monitoring capabilities. However, continuous data collection brings a critical challenge: missing data.
