Future of Clinical Research


Innovation Evidence : A Tufts CSDD workshop
In the five years since the pandemic, decentralized trial elements have solidified their status in medical product development.
Trials with decentralized elements have moved past the “pilot” phase. The question is no longer whether we can operationalize decentralized trial components, it's whether we’re doing it thoughtfully at the pace patients deserve. Our industry is ready to optimize the elements for the trial based on available evidence.
That’s exactly why Medable, in collaboration with and facilitated by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (Tufts CSDD), has launched the Innovation Evidence Workshop series.
Last November, the inaugural, invitation-only workshop brought leaders from 20 pharmaceutical, biotech, and CRO organizations together in Boston, with representation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Harvard MRCT Center, Tufts CSDD, and Medable.


Back to basics: How digital and decentralized clinical trials enable trial diversity
The advancement of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) allows patients to participate without having to travel to a trial site, removing many barriers that may have hindered people of diverse backgrounds from participating.


Back to basics: How hybrid and decentralized technologies impact each phase of the clinical research journey
Clinical trials require volunteers to assess medical products like devices, vaccines, or medications for efficacy and safety. For health equity to be achieved, it’s imperative that clinical trials include people from diverse backgrounds so as to represent the global population of patients using the products.


2023: The year of the site. We are listening.
As 2022 rounds the bend, the life science industry is at a critical juncture in the adoption of the decentralized clinical trial (DCT) model.


Report: Medable named #1 Leader in DCT for second year by Everest Group
For the second consecutive year, Medable has been named Leader decentralized clinical trial products per the Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® assessment, which evaluates DCT products from 24 companies based on vision, capability and market impact.


DCT takes center stage at DIA 2022 with new Tufts CSDD Study
DIA 2022 provided four days worth of content spanning over 13 talk tracks and hundreds of speakers with three major takeaways.


Improving diversity in clinical trials: An industry leader talks progress and surprises
We sat down with Rosamund Round, VP, Patient Innovation Center and Decentralized Trials at Parexel, about the challenge of improving diversity in clinical trials and what Parexel is doing to meet it.
