Teletrials improve access to cancer clinical trials for rural patients. Identified barriers to teletrials are common across many trial types, leading to an action plan for early-phase trials.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Clinical Trial Management
- Health Equity
Background:
- The Victorian Teletrial Collaborative (VTC) was established to enhance teletrial adoption in regional and rural cancer care.
- A collective impact framework guides the VTC's efforts to improve access to clinical trials.
Discussion:
- Two workshops engaged national stakeholders to identify barriers and enablers for teletrial implementation.
- Insights were gathered on the specific application of teletrials in early-phase clinical trials.
Key Insights:
- Barriers identified for teletrials are largely generic and applicable to multicentre and early-phase trials.
- Stakeholder engagement clarified diverse perspectives on implementing teletrials.
Outlook:
- An action plan with six key themes has been developed.
- The plan aims to coordinate a national strategy to advance early-phase teletrial activity.
