How Do Patients Feel About Hybrid
and Decentralized Clinical Trials?

What Are Must-Haves for
a Positive Patient Experience?

Patient advocates take center stage in this Pharma15 Live! overtime segment and share their thoughts on hybrid and decentralized clinical trials.

Moderated by BBK Worldwide Founding Principal Bonnie A. Brescia, this segment continues the conversation from a Patients as Partners Europe panel and answers questions asked by study sponsors in attendance.

What do doctors and nurses think about solutions designed to make clinical trials easier to conduct? Are they helpful? Do they alleviate burdens? And which ones do they prefer?

In this special Pharma15 Live! segment, BBK Worldwide industry experts Matt Kibby and Aaron Fleishman discuss recent Study Voices survey results that shed light on this topic. They examine doctor and nurse perspectives on services designed to provide support in conducting clinical trials — including services for virtual, hybrid, and decentralized clinical trials.

“We were looking at whether or not doctors and nurses at sites that were conducting clinical trials would appreciate different types of services that assist with their ability to conduct them."

-Matt Kibby, Principal, President, BBK Worldwide
