EU-X-CT: Borders Should No Longer Be Barriers In Clinical Trials

EU-X-CT: Borders Should No Longer Be Barriers In Clinical Trials

For many patients, participating in a clinical trial is a vital lifeline. Lack of of clinical trial options in their home country urges many patients, particularly those with life-threatening or rare diseases, to seek options across borders.

Yet, despite high demand, it is rare for patients to gain access to a clinical trials beyond their home country. The lack of an EU-wide legal framework or any guidance that defines the conditions for accessing clinical trials in another country creates high barriers for patients and healthcare professionals.

It’s time to shift the focus from barriers to options.
