Furthermore, the current Adaptive Platform Trials will be merged into a pan-Canadian, globally linked clinical trials infrastructure.

The network will also engage a varied spectrum of patients and indigenous partners, advance partnership as a lead partner organisation in the CIHR-funded Life-Threatening Illness National Group (LifTING) Research Training Platform and facilitate a unified approach across the continuum of care and age groups.

CCCTG chair Dr Rob Fowler said: “Covid-19 has brought into sharp relief the role that research plays during an emerging pandemic and the value of being ready in advance of the need. 

“The COVID-19 Network of Clinical Trials Networks is helping create the tools and capacity that Canada needs to be a leader in efficient, durable, and adaptive clinical trials.”
