    Australian Clinical Trials Alliance is the national peak body for clinical trial networks, coordinating centres and quality registries conducting investigator-initiated clinical trials. Our ‘better health through best evidence’ vision is for a self-improving Australian healthcare system.

  • Consumer Involvement and Engagement Toolkit

    The Consumer Involvement and Engagement Toolkit provides practical advice for researchers and research organisations wishing to conduct patient-centred clinical trials. Using an interactive map, the Toolkit provides guidance and tools to help plan, deliver, evaluate and report consumer and community involvement and engagement activities.

    COVID-19

    We’ve created this area for all COVID-19 information relevant to clinical trials we have gathered. In line with the national guidance and emphasis on the safety and well-being of patients, research participants and their families, and health care professionals, researchers and other staff involved in patient care and research, ACTA strongly supports the continuation of investigator-led trials, where it is safe to do so, and with due consideration to any protocol amendments appropriate for the current COVID-19 pandemic.

What is comparative effectiveness research? and when designing a trial what are the requirements you need to think about for low-risk ethics review?

See the recent guidance produced by ACTA to support researchers and ethics committees make such decisions https://clinicaltrialsalliance.org.au/resource/acta-comparative-effectiveness-trials-requirements-for-low-risk-ethics-review/
