Although virtual clinical trials have been touted by the pharmaceutical industry, especially clinical trial service providers for many years, it was not until the emergence of the new crown epidemic that many companies realized the superiority of this technological trend and really began to implement this new method

01 What is a virtual clinical trial?

Virtual clinical trials, also known as decentralized clinical trials (Decentralized Clinical Trials), siteless clinical trials (Siteless Clinical Trials), is a way to make full use of mobile electronic device applications, electronic testing equipment and online social participation platforms and other technologies.

The virtual clinical trial is not a new or separate type of clinical trial, but a modification of the clinical trial method

02 What are the benefits of virtual clinical trials?

The development of drugs in the clinical phase is a time-consuming and complex process

Patient recruitment is often the biggest cause of delays in clinical trials

During clinical trials, the trial population needs to visit the trial site frequently

Virtual clinical trials are not restricted by geographic location

The recruitment of virtual clinical trials is faster

Virtual clinical trials can reduce the cost of trials

Virtual clinical trials can collect more useful data

Virtual clinical trial operation is more flexible

03 Will virtual clinical trials become the new normal?

Virtual clinical trials were once regarded as a gimmick, but the global new crown epidemic has made it a clinical trend in the future

The epidemic continues, and virtual clinical trials are not a temporary need, but have become a future trend
