Mitigating The Risks Of Long-Term Oncology eCOA Clinical Trials

Many of the challenges of clinical trials are well known, but oncology trials differ from other therapeutic areas: not only are the protocols usually more complex, but they also often last longer than other therapeutic area studies. This brings specific challenges that lead to oncology clinical trials having one of the lowest success rate.

The addition of technical components can help mitigate these challenges, by bringing simplicity, offering flexibility, and smoothing the flow of oncology clinical trials processes. But how can the technical components be well selected and smoothly implemented so that they support the success of eCOA trials? This article digs into the specific complexities of long oncology clinical trials and describes relevant solutions to manage the risks regarding patient compliance, clinical project teams, and clinical sites.
