When describing harms and benefits to potential trial participants, PIls are inadequate. New research from MSc Clinical Trials graduate ⁦UCC School of Public Health⁩ ⁦Laura Cuddihy⁩ and co-supervised by ⁦Ellen Murphy⁩ ⁦Jeremy Howick⁩ trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Extremely interesting project to be involved in - looking at how harms and benefits of trial participation are outlined in PILs
Congratulations Laura Cuddihy on your first publication!

New paper: guidance on supporting trial participants who end their participation early. These participants have specific needs that are likely not well met currently- meaning they might sometimes feel 'abandoned'. Our guidance aims to address this. Links below 👇 Leeds CTRU

Finally all conducted SWATs should be logged in the international SWAT repository and findings reported. New SWAT reporting guidance was recently published 7/7

The Trial Forge initiative produced a useful paper a couple of years ago outlining some key considerations and practical guidance to inform the conduct of SWATs 4/7
