Overview of Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT)  

-Planning & Implementation in APAC

The Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) is not a new concept, but it hasn’t been widely  implemented in APAC due to culture, local practice and even regulatory restriction -- until COVID 19 forced a shift in perspective.

This short presentation will  provide an overview of DCT and where it resides in the future of APAC clinical trials, as well as:  • Define DCT and Syneos Health approach to DCT  

• Review case studies of DCT implementation and application in APAC
