Foley Attorneys Publish on Telemedicine Considerations for Decentralized Clinical Trials

Foley & Lardner LLP attorneys Jessica Warwick, Kyle Faget, and Monica Chmielewski authored the Applied Clinical Trials article, “Telemedicine Considerations When Conducting Decentralized Clinical Trials.”

“Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) involve some or all trial-related activities conducted at locations other than traditional clinical trial sites, such as via telemedicine or in a clinical trial participant’s home,” the authors write. “The use of telemedicine in DCTs implicates various state legal and regulatory considerations as the performance of research, or the performance of certain procedures within a clinical trial, may and often fall within and are deemed to be the ‘practice of medicine.'”
