Hybrid trials are a new trend in dermatological research that leverage mobile health technologies to decentralize a subset of clinical trial elements and thereby reduce the number of in-clinic visits. In a Phase I/IIa randomized controlled hybrid trial, the safety and efficacy of an anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory drug inhibiting cytosolic phospholipase A2 (AVX001) was tested using 1%, 3% or vehicle gel in 60 patients with actinic keratosis (AK) and assessed in-clinic as well as remotely. Over the course of 12 weeks, patients were assessed in-clinic at baseline, end of treatment (EOT) and end of study (EOS), as well as 9 times remotely on a weekly to biweekly basis.

Article Synopsis
  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent chronic liver condition linked with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, which increases cardiovascular disease risk, but lifestyle changes can enhance health outcomes.
  • This study evaluated a 12-week digital health program aimed at improving engagement, retention, and user satisfaction while monitoring health changes related to weight and metabolic factors among individuals with NAFLD, obesity, or diabetes.
  • Among the 38 participants, 89% completed the program, reporting high satisfaction (median score of 6.3/7), with an average weight loss of 3.5 kg and notable improvements in overall metabolic health indicators.

Background: Wide-ranging patient recruitment not restricted to the location of the investigator will provide a better representation of the patient population in clinical studies.

Objective: Our goal was to assess the feasibility of a broad web-based recruitment strategy in an 8-week observational study of 500 study participants with psoriasis and healthy controls from locations remote from the investigator and to assess the cost associated with each participant.

Methods: A decentralized team in Denmark recruited patients with psoriasis and healthy controls using Google and Facebook advertisements and posts to Facebook groups.
