Project Description

By developing an Australasian Preterm Birth Adaptive Platform Trial, we will create a seismic shift in clinical research that will improve outcomes for millions of mothers and babies
We will create an efficient, flexible, collaborative APT to improve outcomes for preterm infants.
Perinatal Adaptive Platform Trials (APTs) provide an innovative solution:
APTs can efficiently assess multiple interventions simultaneously: the perfect design to test a wide variety of antenatal and postnatal interventions to improve outcomes of preterm birth. APTs offer huge advantages over traditional RCTs: they are more cost effective and allow rapid translation of results into practice to improve outcomes
