Closing the distance: How mobile phlebotomy improves retention in decentralized clinical trials

As clinical trials increasingly adopt decentralized and hybrid models, maintaining participant retention becomes more difficult. One of the most effective strategies to address this challenge is mobile phlebotomy, which brings sample and data collection directly to participants’ homes. By eliminating the need for travel and providing greater flexibility, mobile phlebotomy reduces patient burden and supports data integrity.

Mobile phlebotomy is more than a convenience; it’s a strategic advantage in decentralized clinical trials by

  • Reducing participant burden
  • Increasing retention
  • Improving access to underrepresented populations

Strengthen participant retention, diversity, and data integrity in your next trial
