Abstract

Scotland is well-positioned to contribute to the urgent need for COVID-19 treatments. To do this we need to understand the disease and quickly bring new treatments to Scottish patients in trials. We will build the ASTERIX framework, which will be integrated into clinical systems so that frontline staff are not burdened, using repurposed NHS infrastructure and staff. ASTERIX will allow us to learn quickly, while under huge clinical pressures, and streamline patients into trials. Our learning will include how to treat COVID-19 and how to ensure that critical trial results are robust and relevant to Scottish patients.
