Current Projects
Trial Nation in collaboration with Region Midtjylland, Erhvervsministeriet, Lægemiddelstyrelsen, National Videnskabsetisk Komite (NVK), Sundhedsdatastyrelsen, Sundheds- og Ældreministeriet, Danish Comprehensive Cancer Center (DCCC) og Region Sjælland develops a new system. This is a public, searchable and as close to real-time updated overview of ongoing trials as possible with user-friendly interfaces that present all, relevant clinical trials in Denmark including status and contact information. The clinical information should be easy to understand for patients and their relatives. On the technical side, already existing infrastructure in the healthcare system’s is used as far as possible, including automated transfers of data.
The deployment is planned for 2023.
Trial Nation is together with several stakeholders investigating the possibility of establishing a national digital solution that can facilitate the contact between research actors responsible for the trial and relevant citizens and patients to facilitate recruitment into clinical trials. A national, digital solution where patients and citizens can be matched with clinical trials, eg within specific disease areas, will strengthen the Danish research infrastructure.
It is estimated that the assessment will be completed in 2022.
