Welcome to MoreTrials
Randomised trials are the most reliable method to test the effects of health interventions…….
……. this is so well accepted in medicine that it has become something of a cliché.
Randomised trials were invented just over 60 years ago……
……this might well be one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century.
This discovery was made in medicine, but because of their unique value randomised trials are today widely applied across many areas of life.
The last 20 years has seen the explosion of randomised trials done in these other areas, but in medicine things have gone backwards……
……with trials becoming much more complex, difficult to do and way too costly.
This is the result of bad regulation of trials and one regulation in particular, the ICH Guideline (E6) on Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP).
ICH-GCP has two fundamental problems…..
1) it focuses on operational detail rather than high-level principles
2) the high-level principles that it does set out are not the key principles to do a randomised trial well.
This has happened because experts at doing randomised trials were not involved in writing ICH-GCP.
The solution is simple and obvious…..
…..Bring together experts at doing randomised trials to write a new guideline based upon the key scientific principles to do a trial well and develop it with everybody in the trial community.
MoreTrials has brought together over 230 experts at doing randomised trials from around 30 countries to develop a new guideline to do trials well Join us
