ECRAID-PRIME launches
Ecraid is proud to announce ECRAID-Prime, a new Primary care adaptive platform trial for pandemics and epidemics. The project will focus on desperately needed, evidence-based therapeutics for use in primary care. This will have the potential for considerable reach and impact on individual suffering and functioning, as well as on the sustainability of health services. ECRAID-Prime, a European Adaptive Platform Trial (APT) of COVID-19 therapeutics in primary care will build on many years of EU investment in infrastructure for primary care trials and a mature primary care research network that has pioneered novel, efficient, platform clinical trial designs.

ECRAID-Base e-learning platform
Officially opened on 10 November 2021, the ECRAID-Base e-learning platform is now available. The open access “Emerging infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance: diagnostics, treatments, vaccines and other preventive and/or therapeutic interventions” postgraduate course includes webinars and papers by Maurizio Sanguinetti, Burcu Isler, Tobias Welte and Rosario Menendez Villanueva. The course was jointly organised by ERS and ESCMID and took place on 14 October 2021.
How clinical trials inform antibiotic stewardship is the next webinar scheduled for 19 January 2022. Register here.
Ecraid launch
Ecraid, the European Clinical Research Alliance for Infectious Diseases, officially on 14 September 2021. Over two days, 160+ people attended an online event to learn about Ecraid and the work it is doing to advance clinical research in the field of infectious diseases. Read this overview to see how the day unfolded and what our 16 presenters revealed.
Over half a million COVID-19 patient records reached
ISARIC (International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium), one of Ecraid's non-financial partners, celebrated a milestone recently: their clinical data platform surpassed half a million COVID-19 patient records, crucial for advancing knowledge on infectious disease pandemics. As with Ecraid, ISARIC takes a collaborative approach and champions the use of pre-prepared research tools, global collaboration, and research-ready clinical networks.
