Last updated: October 22, 2025

Clinical trials can take place in many different locations, depending on the study design. These include:

  • Hospitals
  • Clinics
  • University research centers
  • Specialized trial sites
  • Even a participant’s home (for decentralized trials)

Some trials are fully site-based, while others combine in-person and remote visits. No matter the location, all trials must follow strict safety and privacy regulations. Decentralized platforms like DecenTrialz make it easier for participants to join trials from wherever they are.
