Press Release – Research Professional – Pan-European Home Nursing Capability for Decentralized Clinical Trials

10 September 2024 – Budapest, Hungary

For sponsors of clinical trials and CROs who need a home health solution to facilitate a decentralized trial design (DCT), Research Professionals (RP) is delighted to announce that it can now cover all European countries with highly trained research nurses.

György Barta (Clinical Operations Director) said, “RP has been providing a decentralized trial solution since well before the pandemic because of the reduced burden on patients which results in accelerated recruitment, much improved retention, and ultimately better data for sponsors. DCT makes a huge difference to rare disease studies where the patients are usually widely distributed and too far from trial sites. We have been an attractive option for so called “rescue” studies too, where patient enrolment has needed a big boost.”

With DCT services in place since 2017, RP also provides a comprehensive technology solution to make decentralized trials run smoothly. This includes: local language patient landing page; eConsent; ePRO; nurse document tracking; wearable integration; automated medication and visit reminders; visit scheduling; patient safety alert facility; trial supply coordination; and tele visits.

With many of its personnel being located in Central / Eastern Europe, RP brings a cost advantage to its customers along with excellent patient recruitment and retention.
