About Trials@Home

The Trials@Home consortium explored the opportunities of moving clinical trials from the traditional clinic setting to the participant’s immediate surroundings. These so-called Decentralised Clinical Trials (DCTs) make use of new, digital innovations and enable participants to visit a clinical trial centre less frequently, if at all.

What are clinical trials?

Clinical research is the ‘backbone’ of progress in healthcare. Behind every modern medical treatment are people who took part in clinical trials to find out if the medicine was safe and if it worked.

What are DCTs?

Clinical trials are essential to prove the safety and efficacy of new medicines. They remain challenging to deliver due to low participation rates. Decentralised Clinical Trial approaches (DCTs) hold the potential to address some of these challenges.

What is RADIAL?

The RADIAL (Remote And Decentralized Innovative Approach to cLinical trials) trial is a pan-European phase IV proof-of-concept trial designed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and quality of decentralised clinical trial (DCT) approaches compared to conventional site-based models.
