ECMC North Conference: The impact of COVID-19 on early phase cancer trials and the approaches taken to adapt to the pandemic to ensure patient safety

Wondering what other centres do to overcome the challenges of COVID-19 for early phase trials?  Interested in contributing to sharing best practice?  Don’t know who to ask about COVID-19 implications when planning future trials?  Then join ECMC North in the educational event to help develop a framework for delivery during the pandemic.

ECMC North - the northern ECMC sites - have worked together over lockdown to obtain a Pfizer Quality and Process Improvement Educational Grant to run a web-based educational event and then set up a digital information platform.  The focus of this will be how pre-clinical and clinical units have adapted to continue safely delivering early phase cancer trials; we will develop an on-line Community Hub of curated outputs as an educational resource for all early phase cancer trials units.

The launch event will be held online on 19 October 2020, 1-4.40pm and ECMC members across the whole network are welcome to attend.
