Decentralised, patient-centric, site-less, virtual, and digital clinical trials? From confusion to consensus

Yared Santa-Ana-Tellez et al.

Summary: There is a growing interest in clinical trials that reorganize trial activities around trial participants using technologies and innovative approaches. However, the lack of standardized terminology for this operational model, known as virtual, digital, remote, and decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), can lead to confusion and hinder discussions on their acceptability and suitability. This article reviews the different terms used in scientific literature, advocates for the consistent use of the term "decentralized clinical trial," and provides a detailed definition of this term.

Effectiveness of spironolactone for women with acne vulgaris (SAFA) in England and Wales: pragmatic, multicentre, phase 3, double blind, randomised controlled trial

Miriam Santer et al.

Summary: This study assessed the effectiveness of oral spironolactone for acne vulgaris in adult women. The results showed that spironolactone had significant improvement in acne symptoms and quality of life compared to placebo at 12 weeks and 24 weeks, with no serious adverse reactions reported. This suggests that spironolactone is a useful alternative to oral antibiotics for women with acne.

A systematic review of methods used to conduct decentralised clinical trials

Amy Rogers et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the design and conduct of decentralised clinical trials using quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative analysis included 45 randomised clinical trials, with the primary outcome being the number of randomised participants. The qualitative analysis included 117 documents discussing or evaluating decentralised clinical trials. The results showed heterogeneity in the design and reporting of trials, and insufficient evidence to support the effectiveness of DCT methods in trial recruitment. The qualitative analysis identified four themes: value, burden, safety and equity. Further research on participant and stakeholder experiences of DCTs is recommended to maximize potential benefits.

Social media advertising: How online motivations and congruency influence perceptions of trust

Jeffrey R. Carlson et al.

Summary: Drawing from uses and gratifications theory, the research shows that users' trust in social media advertising is influenced by their online motivation. Information motivation can lower trust in advertising, while congruency between ad content and online motivation can mitigate the negative effect of information motivation on trust.

Learning from remote decentralised clinical trial experiences: A qualitative analysis of interviews with trial personnel, patient representatives and other stakeholders

Joanne Coyle et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify actionable learning points from stakeholders in remote decentralised clinical trials (RDCTs) through interviews, highlighting the importance of patient involvement and participant engagement in the success of RDCTs, as well as the need to build strong relationships to support trial conduct.

Diagnostic Reliability of In-Person Versus Remote Dermatology: A Meta-Analysis

Mrigendra Bastola et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the diagnostic agreement between teledermatology and in-person dermatology, finding significant differences in concordance. In-person primary diagnoses were significantly more concordant than remote diagnoses, and there were also significant differences between remote and in-person diagnoses. Therefore, caution should be exercised in the use of teledermatology, especially when diagnosing risky skin conditions.

Strategies to improve retention in randomised trials

Katie Gillies et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the effects of strategies to improve retention of participants in randomised trials. The findings showed that most strategies focused on improving postal questionnaire response, with few evaluations on ways to improve participants returning to trial sites. None of the comparisons were supported by high-certainty evidence, highlighting the need for further well-done studies in future evaluations.
