BCTP - Barcelona Clinical Trials Platform

The BCTP has as its great challenge to advance the arrival of innovative treatments to patients in Catalonia. BCTP needs to improve the coordination, integration, quality, inclusiveness and speed of clinical research. This will be thanks to the optimization and homogenization of the clinical research processes of its members, as well as the human and technological potential of the centers. In addition, the BCTP will function as a dissemination platform to attract new studies from outside Catalonia.
