Canadian Remote Access Framework for Clinical Trials

Across Canada, access to clinical trials is limited for many cancer patients. Travel time and associated costs are barriers to trial participation for rural and remote communities. 3CTN developed the Canadian Remote Access Framework for Clinical Trials (CRAFT), a framework which aims to bring high-quality trial options to underserved communities by engaging local care providers and enabling decentralized trial delivery.
