ECRIN, together with our Polish national partner, PolCRIN, represented by the Polish Medical Research Agency, organised International Clinical Trial Day (ICTD) 2023 in Warsaw, Poland. ICTD 2023 was a hybrid event focusing on Decentralised Clinical Trials: Challenges and Opportunities.

ICTD 2023 was officially opened by ECRIN’s Director General, Jacques Demotes, and the Polish representative Radostaw Sierpinski, who welcomed the attendees and handed over the floor to Lukasz Szumowski.

Ditte Zerland Andersen explained that as they worked to develop the recommendations they were aware that they would not be able to harmonise them due to differences in national legislation.

Ekata Shaw discussed for the industry what it can represent to be a sponsor of a DCT and what the implications and considerations necessary to choose between a full vs hybrid DCT. She highlighted the importance of having the capacity to run such trials (both human resources and finances).

Robert Joyce joined us online to share his experience as a patient expert highlighting elements that are essential for encouraging patient recruitment and retention.

Rachel Copland led us through the work carried out by the Trials@Home project, including a systematic review conducted within the project and a group of identified case studies.

Hilde Vanaken clearly explained what econsent is, the many different ways it can be carried out and how it is of value to different stakeholders. The system needs to be flexible & interoperable to support different situations.

COVID19 brought the primary care trial team at Oxford to develop a trial with a unique problem which was that participants were unable to travel to their GP practice. To support recruitment they quickly learned the traditional practice was not sufficient or adapted to the circumstances.

After an overview of issues related to paediatric trials and the benefits of DCTs as well as the current overlap, Jaroslaw Meyer-Szary presented MeDMD which looked to identify means of heart failure prevention in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

The panel included Rachel Copland, Ditte Zerlang Anderson, Ly-Mee Yu, Rafal Staszewski, and addressed a variety of hot topics on the organisation and participation of decentralised clinical trials (DCT). A few key ideas include:
