Clinical Trials in Canada - We could do even more for patients On this important International Clinical Trials Day, I am wondering how we further advance Canada’s capacity in this area of healthcare. Every provincial and even federal life sciences strategy speaks to bringing more clinical trials to Canada. Why? Because this could be an area of real strength for Canada with our tremendous researchers, our public hospitals and our diverse populations. We could be a world leader in this space if we want it. Again, if we want it. What could we do? Three important things: 1) Streamlined Ethics Review Board: We could follow McMaster University ‘s Dr P.J. Devereaux’s work towards a country wide coordination for a single ethics review board so that we worked as a team across the country 2) Faster recruitment timelines: we now have amazing agencies like Clinicals Trials Ontario and Catalis in Québec who are poised to partner with companies and hospitals to bring trials to patients in a faster and more streamlined way. Can we commit to faster timelines? 90 days is no longer competitive around the world. 3) Standards of Care: With our tremendously diverse populations in Canada, we could ensure new innovative medicines could be available to Canadian patients faster. For that to happen, new medicines must be commercially available in Canada faster than (or at least on par with) other developed countries because clinical trials build on the standard of care of the currently available medicines. If the medicines are not available in the country (or the province), the trials go elsewhere. Maybe you have additional ideas? I would love to hear them and to work as a coordinated team to help bring new medicines to Canadians, to strengthen our economies and ensure we are ready for future emergencies.

The collaborative spirit in this initiative is precisely what the industry needs, and more importantly, what patients need to see. This program offers the opportunity for everyone to "see" how one can and should be included and involved in clinical research. #InclusiveResearch #ClinicalTrialDiversity #ReflectionsAtlanta
