2017/11 - 2nd KCE Trials symposium: Real-world evidence: randomised trials in daily practice

KCE Trials selects and funds randomised trials on medical interventions in real life,
called pragmatic practice-oriented trials.

But how to design such trials? What are the challenges to conduct them and why are they important for healthcare policy decisions? What are registry-based randomised trials?
How can ICT support from Healthdata.be facilitate pragmatic trials in Belgium? What is the regulators’ point of view? How do I design a pragmatic trial in terms of outcomes and how do I define a clinically relevant difference? Are there any ethical issues and what about informed consent?
In the 2nd KCE Trials symposium, Belgian and international speakers share their experience and views.
