VACCELERATE Clinical Studies

Clinical trials serve the purpose of clarifying open questions regarding new vaccines, therapies or medicines. By participating in clinical trials, you can make a major contribution to scientific progress. As a study participant you support the research of diseases and the development of new treatment options and at the same time receive comprehensive medical care.

VACCELERATE is carrying out three COVID-19 vaccine trials. The results will be linked here as soon as they are published.

VACCELERATE Academy

Within VACCELERATE we offer several training courses for the VACCELERATE network, organised through our partners and focusing on various topics concerning (vaccine) trial research.

In the VACCELERATE Education Programme, courses have been identified that are suitable for different study team roles. Some of these courses are required in order to participate in VACCELERATE studies and other courses are recommended for further learning if this is of interest to the participant. Which courses are required for participation differs per study team role.

You can find more information on the courses here.

The COVID-NMA initiative – A living mapping and living systematic review of Covid-19 trials

Launched in March 2020, COVID-NMA is an international initiative working in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO), led by a team of researchers from Cochrane and other institutions (Université de Paris, Inserm, CNRS, Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Odense (CEBMO), University of Southern Denmark, Odense University Hospital, Epistemonkos Foundation, Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, University of Milan).

The mission is to inform research planning by producing an up-to-date mapping of trial evidence, to inform public health and healthcare decisions by producing relevant, accessible, up-to-date, and trustworthy synthesis of high-quality evidence  about the efficacy and safety of interventions for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 and to improve research value by producing a living monitoring of trial planning, conduct, and reporting  and implementing interventions to transform research practices.
