摘要
Decentralized clinical trials involving the use of digital tools to facilitate remote research are gaining momentum. Rapid advancements in digital technologies have supported the adoption of these trials. These innovations facilitate virtual interactions between clinical trial teams and participants by making it easier to collect, transfer and store electronic data. While some studies have demonstrated the potential for these approaches to reduce barriers to clinical trial participation, they are associated with several challenges that may create or worsen existing health inequalities and limit the generalizability of trial results. Here we review the potential for digitally enabled and decentralized clinical trials to enhance clinical trial participation in an equitable manner. We describe the key barriers individuals from underserved groups may face, and provide recommendations to promote equity, diversity and inclusion. Digitally enabled and decentralized clinical trials could enable large-scale recruitment of diverse participants-but careful consideration of the barriers faced by underserved groups will be crucial to their success.
