Increasing stakeholder engagement and empowering participants to FACILITATE the effective return of clinical trial data 

Join us in the vision of this insightful overview and roundtable discussion of the FACILITATE project and its promising innovations to enable individual data return to clinical study participants.

Alongside patient testimonials, we heard from clinicians, representatives from companies, and regulatory bodies.
