To Increase Patient Access

What Are Decentralized Clinical Trials, eConsent, How to Access and Can They Help YOU?

Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCT’s) are trials where some or all trial-related procedures and compiling of patient and trial data takes place at locations/sites that are remote from the Principal Investigator (PI) or other investigators.  It is thought that Decentralized clinical trials will remove some of the barriers, such as travel-related burdens that patients and their caregivers/families often experience when participating in a trial, therefore, increasing access and participation in trials.

With DCT’s, comes the accommodation known as an “e-Consent, which eliminates the need to travel to the study location/site solely to provide consent in person to participate in a clinical trial, which makes it much easier for patients to participate.  There is a broader effort currently underway by LUNGevity Foundation and the National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) to analyze existing e-Consent forms/policies from 16 major academic medical centers to review, analyze and study increased use of remote and electronic consent practice.
