International Clinical Trials Day (ICTD) 2025
We are delighted to announce our International Clinical Trials Day (ICTD) 2025 | Rethinking Clinical Trials: Inclusivity in Practice, co-hosted by ECRIN and SCReN in Madrid. It will take place on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
How do we progress from discussion to action in ensuring the appropriate populations are taken into account in the design of a clinical study? Answers to this and more at International Clinical Trials Day (ICTD) - Rethinking Clinical Trials: Inclusivity in Practice.
Due to high demand, both onsite registration and the waitlist are now full. We encourage you to bring your questions and participate online.
(Please note there is no charge for registering for ICTD, but it is necessary to register.)
Why inclusivity?
The need for greater inclusivity in clinical studies is clear in Europe and there is an increasing obligation to progress. By uniting different stakeholders from the clinical research community, ICTD will shed light not only on why diversity, equity and inclusion should be embraced in clinical research but will give concrete examples of what has been done so far, where there are still hurdles to overcome, and what is underway to work to resolve these difficulties.
Agenda
To launch the discussion on the day’s theme we will develop a common understanding of key words such as inclusivity and underserved and why they should be on everyone’s mind. Throughout the day different stakeholders will present their perspectives on inclusivity in clinical studies starting with the patients themselves and the ethicists and later from regulators and industry. Three use cases will be featured to reflect the real-world application in the academic and industry trials. To round off the day panels will be held in the morning (on engaging with underserved populations) and afternoon (on building a clinical trial environment to support inclusivity) to encourage greater discussion between stakeholders and attendees. A couple of EU-funded projects will be featured throughout the day, notably SENSITISE and READI.
Mark your calendars and join us on May 20rd 2025 online or join the waitlist for onsite.
