The pandemic has certainly been a turning point for decentralized trials, and Craig Lipset, co-chair of the Decentralized Trials and Research Alliance (DTRA) says the reasons are clear: the industry’s risk balance has changed, he tells Deborah Borfitz, Clinical Research News senior writer and host of the new Scope of Things podcast. Now decentralized approaches to trials have become counter measures to the risky pandemic when patients couldn’t travel to sites. “Decentralized” is an umbrella term, Lipset explains, that encompasses both processes and technology—not just a lot of tech. A decentralized approach will impact how and where people participate, prioritizing flexibility, diversity, and expanding accessible geographies. The Scope of Things podcast explores clinical research and its possibilities, promise, and pitfalls. Clinical Research News senior writer, Deborah Borfitz, welcomes guests who are visionaries closest to the topics, but who can still see past their piece of the puzzle. Focusing on game-changing trends and out-of-the-box operational approaches in the clinical research field, the Scope of Things podcast is your no-nonsense, insider’s look at clinical research today.
