Brief Description
In May 2020, a new grant program funding research leveraging site-less, technology-informed trials was launched, with the objective of bringing clinical trials directly to patients’ doorsteps.
Successful proposals will:
- Advance a treatment-based clinical trial in oncology
- Emphasize the delivery of the investigational treatment in a decentralized setting, ideally home-based
- Define compelling primary and secondary endpoints
- Creatively leverage one or more innovative technologies (telemedicine, wearables, remote monitoring, medical record review, e-consent, etc.)
- Have been reviewed with your CTO Administrative Director for regulatory, data management, and safety considerations related to implementation
- Integrate mobile clinician management as needed
- Incorporate rigorous and methodical collection, management, and analysis of trial-related data
- Utilize clinical resources in proximity and convenient to patients for any trial-related procedures that cannot practicably be carried out in a decentralized setting (e.g. imaging, interventional radiology, complex infusion, etc.)
- Leverage strategic inter- and/or intra-institutional collaboration, including commercial (e.g. biopharmaceutical, CRO, home health companies, etc.)
