Within CNS, depression has emerged as a prime candidate for the successful deployment of hybrid DCT models.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

The adoption of hybrid decentralized clinical trial models is increasing in many therapeutic areas, and central nervous system (CNS) is topping the list: CNS studies represent roughly 26 percent of all DCTs conducted since 2015, according to GlobalData’s Clinical Trial Database.

Within CNS, depression has emerged as a prime candidate for the successful deployment of hybrid DCT models. In this webinar, the featured speakers will address best practices and draw from their personal experiences, highlighting both the opportunities and the challenges of conducting depression clinical trials.

The convenience, discretion and regularity of reporting associated with remote participation can provide more accurate clinical outcomes while reducing burden on patients. A small, but growing, body of evidence also points to decentralized trials’ facilitation of more truthful self-reporting on suicidality, which — when combined with remote patient monitoring — can make this method a potentially safer option for patients.

Yet many questions remain unanswered: How can study teams ensure that patients are being properly recruited, screened and consented into a decentralized study? How can remote participation be designed to benefit depression patients without jeopardizing data quality? Are the validated instruments commonly used in depression trials suitable for decentralized data collection? How is the placebo effect accounted for in decentralized study designs?
