Together, they unpack the plausibility, benefits and challenges of this shift, from inclusivity and patient convenience to technological hurdles and regulatory readiness. Is a hybrid model the future, or will decentralized clinical trials render old paradigms irrelevant? This podcast is produced and funded by UCB. Hosted on Acast.
