The Canadian Clinical Trials Asset Map (CCTAM), a pan-Canadian database showcasing Canada's clinical research capacities, was launched in front of an audience of scientists, researchers and policymakers, by Senator Kelvin K. Ogilvie.
The CCTAM will help Canada regain its position as a leading destination for clinical trials in the global marketplace, providing a comprehensive picture of the breadth and depth of Canada's clinical research assets.
This dynamic, online database includes details on clinical trial sites, research networks, research ethics boards, institutions/hospitals and individual clinical research experts, and will help advance Canada's clinical research capabilities. The CCTAM offers tremendous marketing benefits to clinical research organisations and investigators and will allow clinical trial sponsors to place trials effectively and efficiently reducing clinical trial start-up times.
The CCTAM database claims to be the only pan-Canadian, fully inclusive database that is bilingual, free to use, easy to search, comprehensive and regularly updated. A forthcoming update will allow users to search by federal riding boundaries.
