Decentralized clinical trials are fundamentally transforming the pharmaceutical research landscape by replacing traditional site-centric study models with remote, patient-centric approaches where participants engage with research activities from their homes or nearby healthcare facilities.
Key Takeaways
Traditional clinical trials have historically required patients to travel repeatedly to centralized research sites for study visits, laboratory assessments, and clinical evaluations—a substantial burden that excludes many potential participants from research participation. Elderly patients, individuals with mobility limitations, rural populations, and busy working professionals frequently cannot accommodate the time commitment and travel requirements of traditional site-centric trials.
