Esther Howard, Oncology Advisor at THREAD, will be shedding light on how DCT design brings clinical research as a care option to cancer patients. In 2021, over 608,000 Americans alone passed away from cancer- equating to 1,600 deaths a day. Because clinical trials become the only treatment option for cancer patients after they have exhausted all standard of care options, we desperately need solutions to bring real access to clinical trials as a care option to more cancer patients. Esther will focus on some of the challenges that patients face, and how elements of a DCT design can not only save the lives of more patients but can also be a key driver in improving diversity in enrollment.
Beyond technology, awareness, and access—cultural competence is key.
Compliance with diverse clinical trial payment and data standards requires specialized skills.
Study designs, coupled with difficulties finding, enrolling and retaining trial participants, further intensify operational challenges and prevent new treatments from getting to market.
In an earlier article, we reviewed the randomization risks that could arise if an interactive response technology (IRT) system isn’t designed and/or implemented correctly. Here we address the consequences that trial sponsors could face if their IRT system isn’t adequately designed to handle the many and often complex drug allocation and trial supply aspects of their clinical trials.
