THE Federal Government has announced $24.6 million in funding for a new clinical trials hub which aims to boost opportunities for patients across the country to participate in trials of new treatments and other interventions as close as possible to home.
The Community Health and Hospitals Fund support for the Australian Clinical Trials Network's "TrialHub" will create partnerships with regional hospitals to expand the reach of, and participation in, clinical trials, with the first partner institutions including hospitals in Rosebud, Casey and Bendigo in Vic.
TrialHub's initial focus will be on rare cancers and other diseases, prostate cancer and melanoma.
The program is a collaboration between Monash University and Alfred Health to boost the number of available clinical trials in Vic.
