Designing And Delivering Patient-Centric Clinical Trials For Oncology Patients

This presentation by the Medical Research Network (MRN) explores strategies for designing and delivering patient-centric clinical trials, with a focus on oncology. Led by Dr. Graham Wiley, Executive Chairman and MRN co-founder, and Adrian Bryce, VP of Strategy and Clinical Governance, the session highlights support for patients in their own communities to enhance recruitment, retention, and operational efficiency. Drawing from decades of experience, the speakers emphasize the importance of hybrid models that integrate in-home, virtual, and site-based visits to reduce patient burden without compromising scientific rigor.

MRN’s approach enables visits at home, school, work, or even during travel, making participation more accessible. They also offer sponsors access to both experienced and research-naive trial sites, supported by pop-up clinics and virtual infrastructures. The goal is to reimagine traditional site-centric methods by leveraging flexibility, expanding reach, and improving the patient experience, particularly for those with complex or chronic conditions.
