  • Equipping Your Cold Chain Infrastructure for Decentralized Clinical Trials

    Dec 23 | Clinical Research News | Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) mitigate the burden of transportation, lodging, meals, and dependent care that often pose barriers to study participants. Still, the adoption of DCTs requires a fundamental shift in infrastructure to maintain compliance. This not only includes a shift to the cloud for virtual collaboration between stakeholders and data sharing, but also the elements of infrastructure that cannot be virtualized, such as the cold chain.
