Decentralized clinical trial 1 article

decentralized clinical trial is a clinical trial operating model that moves selected study activities away from traditional sites used in clinical development and regulated biomedical research. At the mechanistic level, remote clinical study participation is linked to telemedicine trial visits, with direct-to-patient trial logistics defining an important part of how the approach is implemented or measured. Decentralization describes where and how trial activities occur, not the statistical design; a decentralized trial can still be randomized, adaptive or conventional.
