The EU-X-CT initiative was born out of the unmet need of patients to participate in clinical trials abroad. An independent European research project with patient interviews and survey, identified financial, administrative, and legal burdens and lack of access to reliable information on cross-border clinical trials as the major challenges to enrolment.
We are currently gathering detailed information about the obstacles patients face when they want to enrol in a clinical trial in a foreign country. We are also mapping the existing legal, financial, and operational frameworks for conducting and participating in cross-border trials across European countries. Once the survey is complete and the results are analysed, the information will be made available for free on this website per country. All the members of EU-X-CT will collaborate on working out recommendations and guidance for patients, investigators and other involved parties on how best to overcome hurdles.
Meanwhile, if you are interested in joining a clinical trial in another country, please speak with your doctor and/or reach out to a patient organization in your country.
Share your experiences about accessing a clinical trials in different another country. Share with us, whether you could or could not participate in such a clinical trial abroad. Contribute to our initiative by completing our survey designed to collect information from patients, carers, and patient organizations.
