Taming The Data Tsunami From Decentralized Clinical Trials And Real-World Data

With the emergence of decentralized clinical trials, we now have a window into the patients’ clinical trial experience like never before, collecting real-world data for research as they go about their daily routines. Not only are we collecting more and arguably better direct patient reporting, but data is also coming from a broader range of sources, such as sites, labs, devices, CROs, EHRs and RWD. This greater access provides us with new, more accurate ways to measure outcomes unlocking previously unobtainable insights. The goal of research partners in using digital and decentralized research methods is to remove burden from the entire clinical continuum, and while hybrid study designs might on one hand make patient participation easier, new pain points and burden have been introduced for study administrators and clinicians.

How do we ensure sponsors, sites and study teams can efficiently and easily manage this wealth of new data to deliver actionable insights? And how can we streamline complex data sets into a single and actionable source of truth?
