Decentralized Clinical Trials
Hybrid and decentralized trials are the future—but they often put a strain on trial sites. Increased digital processes, remote monitoring, and patient-centered procedures bring additional workload, greater complexity, and higher susceptibility to errors. Many trial sites cannot fully meet these requirements with their existing personnel and organizational resources.
Ready to go
Camovis supports sponsors and CROs in conducting decentralized and hybrid studies outside of traditional trial centers. Our Research Professionals take on patient-oriented activities from A to Z—in the home environment, remotely, or virtually—always in accordance with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and communication channels, as well as in full accordance with EU guidelines.
We ensure that decentralized studies are not only operationally successful but also implemented in compliance with regulations. We support patients regardless of their location and take on tasks throughout the entire course of the study. Upon request, we act as a central interface, coordinating collaboration between trial centers, sponsors, CROs, and other service providers. Through structured documentation and clear communication channels, we ensure data quality, full process transparency, and efficient, compliant implementation.
You benefit from:
-
Patient-centered care – Home visits, virtual visits, and remote support enable the inclusion of even hard-to-reach patients and increase participant satisfaction and study reach.
-
Relief for the trial center – Our Research Professionals take on operational tasks, patient coordination, and concierge services, relieving the on-site team and freeing them from tasks outside their area of expertise.
-
Oversight and compliant processes – All activities are carried out according to clearly defined roles, EU guidelines, and structured communication channels, ensuring compliance, data quality, and transparency.
-
Efficiency for sponsors and CROs – Central coordination, structured documentation, and fast data delivery ensure smooth processes and timely study execution.
Case Study: Continuing the study under home care
Initial situation:
A sponsor plans to continue an ongoing study after the patients have completed their rehabilitation phase at the clinic. Further care is to be provided at home, including regular telemedicine visits, monitoring of study compliance, and blood draws. However, the trial center does not have the personnel or organizational capacity to cover these tasks outside the facility.
Solution:
Our Research Professionals take over the complete care of patients in their home environment. They conduct telemedicine visits, coordinate blood draws and shipping, record data digitally, and are available to patients as contact persons. They work in a structured, efficient manner, collaborating closely with all parties involved to ensure the smooth running of the study.
Result:
Thanks to Camovis’ support, the study continues seamlessly. Patients receive continuous care, blood samples are taken on schedule, and data is collected completely and in compliance with regulations. The burden on the trial center is reduced, compliance is ensured, and the sponsor receives a high-quality, reliable data set for study analysis.
