CARY, N.C., June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- THREAD, a technology and service provider enabling decentralized clinical trials ("DCTs"), today announced the launch of a new offering, THREAD DESIGN.

Tools and templates to map the sponsor's study protocol with DCT approaches
Regulatory submission templates and DCT key performance indicators (KPIs)

"We've always worked with our sponsor and CRO customers to contribute to the design of their decentralized studies and registries," said John Reites, CEO, THREAD. "Formalizing this next-gen solution now, after years of building the framework, enables us to offer our customers a rapid, standardized process to achieve fit-for-purpose DCT design."
