Patient focused research for better outcomes
Bring your clinical trial directly to patients when and where it's convenient for them to reduce patient burden and increase recruitment and retention.
Everyone is talking about decentralised clinical trials. But how can we leverage what we learnt during 2020 and move forward in a more systematic way to deploy this approach with maximum efficiency and optimum results?
Read the whitepaperICON invited senior biopharma executives to discuss how decentralised and hybrid clinical trial models can provide increased resilience and to share how their respective organisations are currently or likely to address diversity and inclusion in clinical trials going forward. This summary report outlines how these executives see the opportunity in the developments of 2020, paving the way for continuous improvements into the future.
Read the summary reportEngaging patients more fully and making sure decentralised clinical trials are easing rather increasing burden is going to be crucial to using these models in the longer term. Early in 2021, ICON conducted a survey to compare it to one conducted in 2019 to see if the COVID-19 outbreak had changed the sentiment and increased interest in participating in clinical trials remotely.

Read the whitepaperAlthough mHealth devices and sensors are continuing to evolve, and it is now possible to capture a vast array of physiological data, the operationalisation of digital trials is not without challenges. Navigate the shift from traditional trial models to agile, patient-centric processes driven by digital health technologies.
Read the whitepaperDuring COVID-19 the levels of remote monitoring increased due to site closures and safety reasons. Now is the time to learn from that experience and review whether a hybrid model of remote monitoring and centralised monitoring is the way forward for some trials. Learn best practices in analysing and assessing risk in clinical monitoring and how to remain agile adapting to environmental conditions and therapeutic focus.

ICON's E.B. McLindon speaks at Decentralized Clinical Trials digital week. Gain insights and perspectives on design studies, to improve patient engagement and meeting study endpoints.
The COVID-19 outbreak has driven the desire for more resilient clinical trials. The deployment of remote clinical monitoring is proving its value in helping to keep trials going at a time when site management is particularly challenging.
The FDA guidance on clinical trials during COVID-19 advised sponsors to evaluate alternative methods for safety assessments to protect patients, where necessary and feasible.
The collection of real-time data in a home setting can give sponsors and trial managers greater visibility and assurance around GCP and protocol compliance.
