Webinar: Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCT) Draft Guidance

The FDA sees important potential benefits and value in DCTs. Advances in clinical care using electronic communications and information technology to interact with trial participants in different locations (i.e., telehealth) allow for fewer in-person visits to clinical trial sites and facilitate decentralization. In addition, digital health technologies have expanded the types of trial-related data that can be obtained remotely from trial participants. By enabling remote participation, DCTs may enhance convenience for trial participants, reduce the burden on caregivers, expand access to more diverse patient populations, improve trial efficiencies, and facilitate research on rare diseases and diseases affecting populations with limited mobility.

As part of the FDA’s efforts to be responsive to the rapidly evolving clinical trial landscape and clarify the Agency’s recommendations on the conduct of DCTs, the FDA will provide an overview of the draft guidance titled Decentralized Clinical Trials for Drugs, Biological Products, and Devices.
