The RADIAL trial is testing out whether future clinical trials can be successfully run from participants’ homes rather than hospitals or clinics – and the best way to do this.
The trial is open to people living with type 2 diabetes who are on long-acting basal insulin.
About RADIAL trial
Why are clinical trials so important?
Clinical trials drive progress in medicine. Today, people are living longer, healthier lives, mainly because others they never met volunteered to take part in clinical trials.
Why are we running the RADIAL trial?
Decentralised clinical trials that allow people to take part from home could have significant benefits - but it's important first to carefully study their reliability and participant experience compared with 'traditional' trials run from hospitals and clinics.
Clinical trials in a changing world
How the RADIAL trial will be run
All RADIAL trial participants will switch from their current long-acting basal insulin to Toujeo®, but half will take part from home using digital technology. If you join via this website, you will be in this group. You may also join the trial when you are already using Toujeo®.
