The impact of operational trial approaches on representativeness: Comparison of decentralized clinical trial participants, conventional trial participants, and patients in daily practice
Decentralized clinical trial (DCT) approaches – in which trial activities are conducted at participants’ homes – have the potential to improve representativeness. We present a study that compared the demographics and cardiovascular risk factors of participants from a DCT (ASCEND) and a conventional trial with a similar trial objective (POPADAD) to those of patients in daily practice. We adjudicate that there are relevant differences when comparing the participants of the conventional trial and the DCT, with the latter providing better representativeness in terms of age, insulin use, smoking status, and body mass index, whereas conventional trial participants were more representative in terms of biological sex. Differences in these characteristics were not explained by the eligibility criteria, but are considered attributable to the operational trial approach.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today delivers informed and highly current reviews for the discovery community. The magazine addresses not only the rapid scientific developments in drug discovery associated technologies but also the management, commercial and regulatory issues that increasingly play a part in how R&D is planned, structured and executed.
Features include comment by international experts, news and analysis of important developments, reviews of key scientific and strategic issues, overviews of recent progress in specific therapeutic areas and conference reports.
