Meet the Team

Planning, organizing, running and leading a multinational trial demands close cooperation between sites. Therefore, the team behind NORACT is composed of several groups with different responsibilities.

NORACT Board, The trial steering committee (TSC), Independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) and Expert Working Groups

Three named working groups have been established. The chairs of the groups have been pointed out as experts in each field contributing with expert knowledge to the development of the protocol and throughout the study period when required.
