EU Patient- cEntric clinicAl tRial pLatform

Project description

EU-integrated clinical trial platform

The EU-funded EU-PEARL project aims to transform the single-compound clinical trials system into EU-integrated research platforms for clinical trials management. Patient-centric data and knowledge-sharing across the EU will accelerate the development of new treatments and reduce the operational costs of clinical trials. EU-PEARL has the potential to improve clinical effectiveness, patient satisfaction and access to affordable medical treatment, while shaping a novel approach to future clinical trials. The main objectives of EU-PEARL are to create a transferable, accessible and affordable integrated research platform, accompanied by a management structure that can meet regulatory, ethical, legal, statistical and data requirements. Project results are to be disseminated and exploited to the highest standards, with trial-ready networks for major depressive disorder, tuberculosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and neurofibromatosis.

Objective

EU-PEARL has the ambition of transforming the current approach of conducting single-compound clinical trials into the use of cross-company Integrated Research Platforms (IRPs), taking into consideration both patients’ interests and the opportunities from novel molecules for addressing medical needs. Patient-centric data and knowledge sharing have the potential to accelerate the development of new treatments and reduce the operational costs of clinical trials. EU-PEARL will improve clinical effectiveness, patients’ satisfaction and societal access to timely and affordable medicines and it will shape the clinical trials of the future. This will change the industry paradigm from competition to cooperation in four disease areas and provide the framework for designing IRPs in other disease areas.
The main objectives of EU-PEARL are:
(1) To create a reusable, accessible and sustainable modular IRP for the design and execution of patient-centric, cross- company IRP in any disease area with unmet needs;
(2) To set up the open, dynamic, patient inclusive IRP governance structure that will manage the appropriate regulatory, ethical, legal, statistical and data utilisation requirements of the IRP;
(3) To disseminate and exploit the EU-PEARL paradigm through the provision of the necessary common tools, procedures, expertise and operational skills working to the highest scientific, regulatory and ethical standards and best practices, developed jointly by public and industry partners in a consensus-based approach; and
(4) To create trial-ready IRP networks in the four disease areas of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Tuberculosis (TB), Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and Neurofibromatosis (NF).

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
