Optimizing Direct-to-Patient Clinical Supply for Decentralized Clinical Trials

With coronavirus inhibiting the traditional approach to clinical trials, many companies are adopting the decentralized trial approach. And decentralized trials were on-the-rise even before the pandemic, boasting higher recruitment and retention rates for patients who prefer trials without the logistical challenges of in-clinic attendance. But adopting the decentralized trial approach introduces new challenges for those companies hoping to ramp up an early phase trial or keep later stage studies going during the pandemic. Strengthening the direct-to-patient supply chain is crucial in ensuring the decentralized trial process goes smoothly for patient and company alike. We'll discuss the challenges posed by direct-to-patient supply with decentralized trial experts, whose experience poses solutions for common roadblocks.
