The future is now: our experience starting a remote clinical trial during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic

ConclusionsFlexibility in design, a multidisciplinary research team, prompt cooperation among research, funding, ethics review groups, and finding innovative study approaches enabled this work. Concerns were balancing study recruitment against unduly influencing individuals anxious for protection from the pandemic and exclusion of groups based on lack of Internet access and technology. An issue to address going forward is establishing research cooperation across community health systems before emergencies develop.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.govNCT04652648.
