Cytel: Society of Clinical Trials David Sackett Trial of the Year Award
Clinical trial technology specialist Cytel has received the Society for Clinical annual Trial of the Year Award. The TOGETHER Trial for COVID-19 therapies, designed by Cytel, used statistical expertise to reach accelerated testing of 11 interventions, as well as deployment of study infrastructure designed to help low-income communities find cost-effective therapies
Cytel’s principal research scientist Edward Mills (professor of Health Research Methods at McMaster University in Canada, said, "In a rush to find therapies that work, members of the global community failed to recognize that much of the world would not be able to afford a number of the therapies initially put forward for examination. Members of the TOGETHER Trial joined to ensure that low- and middle-income countries did not miss out on the global search for effective results. I see the recognition from SCT as a recognition of global scientific cooperation."
