PALISI Platform Trial
Dear Colleagues,
The PALISI Platform trials group is excited to receive your proposal for a potential study to be conducted
within the platform. We know that the timing has been difficult, so we are extending the deadline one
week from 1/31 to 2/7.
Please know that you/your group will retain ownership and leadership in managing your study using the
platform. The platform will only provide the venue for you to seek and manage your funding in a more
efficient manner; conduct your work collaboratively, productively, and concurrently with other
important PALISI pediatric critical care trials; analyze and publish your data along with support from the
platform statistical team.
We acknowledge that the concept of a platform trial shifts the paradigm on how to do clinical research that is different from our typical single investigator-initiated initiatives and different from what you may have heard or anticipate. In the spirit of PALISI we hope that this will be a collective (N=X) not an N=1/few. Please reach out for any questions/concerns you may have.
Please send your outline to Lou Ventura at VENTURAL@chop.edu by February 7, 2024. If that timing doesn’t work for you, please drop us a note with a timeframe that would work.
Our best,
Martha A.Q. Curley (Curley@UPENN.edu)
Michael Agus (Michael.Agus@childrens.harvard.edu)
Roby Khemani (RKhemani@chla.usc.edu)
