Increase equity of care and easier access to cancer clinical trials
Teletrials is a flexible approach to conducting clinical trials, delivering a significant opportunity to overcome geographical barriers, expand investigation of rare cancers, widen patient recruitment and increase patient population diversity. The teletrial model enables clinical trials to be opened at a primary clinical trial site in addition to singular or multiple satellite sites, including metro and regional locations.
Working in collaboration with COSA, Victorian clinical trial units, consumers and the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services, the VCCC has developed an operational teletrial model for Victoria to support uptake. Encompassing essential documents and an online training module, aimed to provide education on the process for implementing a teletrial in Victoria.
