Fostering International Paediatric Clinical Research
Paediatric multinational clinical trials are essential to boost paediatric research but also must face the difficulties transnational projects normally bring. PedCRIN final event focused on the challenges in international and multicentric paediatric clinical trials and included several panels where the setup, planning and conduction phases of these studies was discussed and analysed.
Additionally, our consortium experts presented the main outcomes of the project (i.e supporting tools, methodologies, identified gaps, etc.) and debated on future initiatives and collaborations.
