Trial Nation is part of the national project PACT (Patient Centered Decentralized Clinical Trials).

In Trial Nation we are further strengthening our efforts in patient-centered decentralised clinical trials (DCT) in Denmark.

We accelerate the development of better framework conditions for conducting decentralised clinical trials in Denmark by facilitating close collaboration between authorities, public- and private partners, patients, and researchers.

• Trial Nation facilitates the Danish DCT Dialogue Forum together with the Danish Medicines Agency.
• Trial Nation facilitates a committed National public-private collaboration* that will take the next step in innovating and developing Denmark as a strong DCT nation. The project PACT – patient-centered decentralised clinical trials is supported by Innovation Fund Denmark and runs from 2022-2026. The project aims to support the implementation of patient-centered DCT in Denmark by:
  • reducing the barriers for patients, health care personnel to participate in and for companies to perform industry-initiated clinical trials in Denmark.
  • enable patients to participate in clinical trials from their home or community
  • support the development of a value-creating health care system focused on patient-centered care.

PACT project output:

• • A DCT one-pager targeting the life science industry is developed and available.
    The one-pager aims to enlighten on possibilities for conducting decentralised clinical trials in Denmark. It highlights that the Danish clinical trial ecosystem demonstrates a readiness for digitalising and decentralising clinical trials.  Main drivers and key factors to success are a national strategic focus on DCT, political prioritisation and continuous investment as well as close collaboration between authorities, clinicians, companies, and patients in Denmark. Download the one-pager here:

• Trial Nation contributed to the development of a publication on DCTs in Denmark that aims to inform, inspire, and invite for further dialogue.
