CTU-Network

Switzerland has six clinical research centers, known as Clinical Trial Units (CTUs), that are supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).

The SCTO coordinates the collaboration between these centers and supports the CTUs in the following areas:
  • Quality standards: Defining and implementing internationally recognized quality standards
  • Training and continuing education
  • Study registry: Development of a joint study registry database
  • Intermediation and coordination: Support for national and international multi-center studies
The SCTO is the coordinative platform of the CTU-Network and as such the representative and contact partner for authorities, industry and media.
