Teletrials as a means to increase regional clinical trial participation
Two new papers, Teletrials: implementation of a new paradigm for clinical trials and Exploring Australian regional cancer patients' experiences of clinical trial participation via telemedicine technology have been published in The Medical Journal of Australia (The MJA) and Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare respectively.
Both papers highlight why teletrials are a key factor in efforts to reduce the mortality gap between patients with cancer in regional and rural areas and those in metropolitan areas, and how the VCCC's Teletrials program has overcome some of the long standing barriers to clinical trial participation.
