About DPHARM:
DPHARM is the first event in the United States to question how we can disrupt the way clinical research gets done to reduce the burden to patients and physicians. DPHARM presented the first example of a decentralized clinical trial from Pfizer in 2011 and reports annually on the progress of flexible/decentralized trials with patient feedback. DPHARM is going into its 11th year in 2021. The concept of DPHARM was founded by Pfizer and Janssen who continue to play a key role on the steering committee to deliver a highly relevant and engaging program. DPHARM is the conference where a wide range of pharma companies report on innovation to advance clinical trials.
