PACT Network Research Priorities
Since its inception, the aim of PACT has been to support and deliver high-quality PF clinical trials in order to advance research and improve patient outcomes. As a network, we continue this commitment with the objective to achieve our current research priorities and aims:
- To fast-track CRE-PF discovery science outcomes to development of Australian early phase ILD trials, and specifically train health professionals in running early phase clinical trial units.
- Enhance and support PF trial accessibility and translation of research into practice by educating and upskilling the trial workforce, facilitate the establishment of new sites outside of metropolitan areas; and drive the uptake of tele-trials in PF.
These priorities have been developed into four major projects, which are currently being undertaken by members of the PACT Network:
- Project 1. Development of early phase clinical trial units
- Project 2. Upskilling the clinical trial workforce
- Project 3. Shortening and broadening the clinical trial pipeline
- Project 4. Development of clinical trial sites outside of metropolitan areas/tele-trials
