How Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) Design Brings Clinical Research as a Care Option to Cancer Patients
Author(s)Thread Research
Esther Howard, Oncology Advisor at THREAD, will be shedding light on how DCT design brings clinical research as a care option to cancer patients. In 2021, over 608,000 Americans alone passed away from cancer- equating to 1,600 deaths a day. Because clinical trials become the only treatment option for cancer patients after they have exhausted all standard of care options, we desperately need solutions to bring real access to clinical trials as a care option to more cancer patients. Esther will focus on some of the challenges that patients face, and how elements of a DCT design can not only save the lives of more patients but can also be a key driver in improving diversity in enrollment.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how China’s trial startup timelines compare with those in the US and Europe, whether AI-drafted clinical study reports speed drug development, and how Bimzelx compared with Skyrizi in psoriatic arthritis.
AI can draft a CSR in minutes, but the report only reflects evidence that has already converged, so faster drafting shifts the bottleneck to upstream reconciliation, database-lock readiness, and human accountability rather than shortening the trial itself.
In this video interview, James Cheong, senior vice president of Asia Pacific at Precision for Medicine, details how NMPA reforms, parallel reviews, and expanded reviewer capacity brought China’s startup timelines in line with the US and Europe, and could shorten them further.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why APAC inspection findings mirror those in the US and Europe, how key risk indicators should be read together, and how FDA granted accelerated approval to a subcutaneous antibody therapy for recurrent head and neck cancer.
In this video interview, James Cheong, senior vice president of Asia Pacific at Precision for Medicine, explains how FDA inspection findings at APAC sites compare with those in the US and Europe, and why the common issues, such as informed consent versioning, are not unique to the region.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why outdated views of Asia Pacific trial sites persist, how community access gaps reflect both patient costs and site infrastructure, and how VeonGen has aligned with the FDA on a pivotal gene therapy trial design.
Risk-based quality management depends on knowing what to monitor and on interpreting what the signals mean.
