There’s more than one way to architect a decentralized clinical trial (DCT). While this flexible model has many benefits, it can be overwhelming to bring together all the right elements to operationalize a trial that’s predominantly digital. Every trial is unique, so it is not realistic to templatize (impose a standard implementation template on) a DCT. But four common, fundamental components combine to facilitate a seamless, patient-centric DCT.
“It’s like a trial in a box, but each box is a little bit different,” said Steve Rosenberg, CEO of a cloud-based platform company that powers decentralized clinical trials. Even with a DCT’s inherent optionality, foundational components can ease implementation and improve execution.
ANN ARBOR, MI- April 12, 2022 – Ripple Science, a digital clinical trial software company, today announced a partnership with Curavit Clinical Research (Curavit) to deploy Ripple Recruit, the company’s newly expanded enterprise software platform, to support several digital therapeutic decentralized clinical trials.
