The pan-European public-private EU-X-CT Initiative aims at facilitating cross-border access to clinical trials in concrete terms. We are collecting information on the regulatory, ethical, healthcare system and organizational conditions for the involved stakeholders, experiences and best practices in all European countries. This Public Stakeholders' Forum will be the opportunity to jointly review the national conditions for patients, clinical investigators, academia/public funders and industry sponsors in need for cross-border participation of patients in clinical trials. The EU-X-CT gap analysis will be the basis for our panel and open forum discussions to come to conclusions about most efficient European and national strategies and activities for improvements in the near and mid-term future.
