In conjunction with WEHI, the VCCC Alliance Registry Based Trials Program has four open recruiting trials with many more in the pipeline. There is an increase in the conduct of tele-trials in Victoria with the VCCC Alliance tele-trials project and the statewide collaborative effort to streamline tele-trial operations.
The Registry Based Trials Program combines conventional trial methodology with registry systems to produce real-world clinical evidence. Registry based trials integrate the high internal validity (elimination of bias) of randomised clinical trials with the high external validity (applicable to a clinical setting) associated with enrolling real-world patients through a registry.
