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.

Sponsors had already started to explore the benefits of decentralised and hybrid trials and the current conditions have heightened the need to consider this approach to reduce patient burden and increase retention to minimise disruption.

Join our experts to hear more about this approach and the value it brings to patients and sponsors.

Topics covered include:

  • The benefits of In-home visits
  • Patient populations and study type considerations
  • The scope of services and tests feasible in the home setting
  • Best practice in planning and execution  
  • Regulatory guidance and steps required to integrate this option into studies
