Advanced Clinical Trials and Clinical Research

Virtual Trial Platforms

Virtual trial platforms are central to executing decentralized and hybrid clinical trials. This session examines digital infrastructures that support remote recruitment, eConsent, telemedicine, data collection, and patient engagement. Attendees will learn about leading platform functionalities, including real-time dashboards, automated scheduling, AI-driven alerts, and secure video conferencing tools. Key considerations include compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, GDPR, and integration with existing EHR and CTMS systems. The session will also cover vendor evaluation, interoperability, and data security protocols. Case studies will showcase successful implementation across therapeutic areas, with measurable improvements in trial timelines and patient adherence. With virtual trials gaining momentum, this session equips attendees with the knowledge to select, implement, and scale virtual trial platforms that support inclusive, efficient, and technology-driven research.
