Such technologies offer the opportunity to move towards decentralised clinical trials that are done partly or fully outside the classic clinical trial setting and are characterised by remote data collection and monitoring. This approach to evaluating clinical, pharmacological, or behavioural interventions could facilitate recruitment of inclusive and generalisable study populations, enhance personalisation and sustainability, reduce research costs, and accelerate the timeline to novel asthma treatments' market access. This Personal View discusses the application of digital technologies and endpoints within trials; the concept of hybrid and decentralised designs; describes a fully decentralised trial in asthma; and explores the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats regarding their implementation from the clinician, patient expert, low-resource, and regulator viewpoints.","PeriodicalId":51307,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Respiratory Medicine","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":76.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142782707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
