In this QCast episode, Jullia and Tom discuss decentralised clinical trials and what they mean for clinical development teams in practice. The episode looks at decentralisation as a spectrum of remote, local, digital, and site-based activity, rather than a move to fully virtual trials.

Key Takeaways

  • Decentralised clinical trials work best when remote and local activities are selected deliberately.
  • Data management is central to decentralised trial delivery.
  • Investigator oversight still applies when trial activities move away from the site.
