ABSTRACT
Both the Internet and clinical trials were significant developments in
the latter half of the twentieth century: the Internet revolutionized
global communications and the randomized controlled trial provided a
means to conduct an unbiased comparison of two or more treatments. Large
multicenter trials are often burdened with an extensive development
time and considerable expense, as well as significant challenges in
obtaining, backing up and analyzing large amounts of data. Alongside the
increasing complexities of the modern clinical trial has grown the
power of the Internet to improve communications, centralize and secure
data as well as to distribute information. As more and more clinical
trials are required to coordinate multiple trial processes in real time,
centers are turning to the Internet for the tools to manage the
components of a clinical trial, either in whole or in part, to produce
lower costs and faster results. This paper reviews the historical
development of the Internet and the randomized controlled trial,
describes the Internet resources available that can be used in a
clinical trial, reviews some examples of online trials and describes the
advantages and disadvantages of using the Internet to conduct a
clinical trial. We also extract the characteristics of the 5 largest
clinical trials conducted using the Internet to date, which together
enrolled over 26000 patients.

Introduction
Both the Internet and clinical trials were significant developments in
the latter half of the 20th century: the Internet revolutionized global
communications and the randomized controlled trial (RCT) provided a
means to conduct an unbiased comparison of two or more treatments. This
paper reviews the historical development of the Internet and the
randomized controlled trial, describes the Internet resources available
that can be used in a clinical trial, reviews some examples of online
trials and describes the advantages and disadvantages of using the
Internet to conduct a clinical trial.
