Episode 36: Decentralized Clinical Trials, Site Perspectives
Today we’re deviating a bit from the standard podcast format and delving more deeply in to one topic – decentralized clinical trials. I feel we see a great deal of conversation around DCTs from sponsors, CROs and vendors but not as much from the sites themselves. This is my humble attempt bring the site voice a little bit more to the forefront in an increasingly overcrowded space.
Our site voices today are Joy Jurnack and Dr. Viviënne van de Walle.
Joy has a long and diverse career in clinical trials that includes roles as a clinical research nurse, research subject advocate, IRB member, and ACRP fellow. Joy’s recent passion is now how decentralization of the clinical research enterprise can include both innovation and products available to expand, develop and implement this progress to include considering DCT as an extension of the clinical research site.
Viviënne is a physician by training who studied medicine both at the University of Maastricht and at the University of Oxford. She has always combined clinical research with patient care and has been a full time principal investigator at independent clinical research sites. She co-founded and owns the independent research site PreCare Trial and Recruitment in the Netherlands.
In this episode, we discuss decentralized clinical trials’ influence on PI oversight, site budgets, vendors/portals, and so much more!
