DCTs rose to popularity during the pandemic as people around the world were advised to stay indoors. The top reason for shifting to this model is DCTs’ patient-centered focus, which makes it easier for more people from a broader geographic spread to participate in trials without the need to visit a site.

This playbook looks at 50+ DCT case studies across different therapy areas and informs enterprises about the trends, benefits, and challenges in DCT adoption to help them design a strategy for seamless DCT adoption.
