MaP Toolbox: your hub for master protocol clinical trials

The canSERV project is pleased to introduce the MaP Toolbox, a free, open-access tool designed to support researchers in planning and conducting master protocol clinical trials, including platform, umbrella, and basket trials.

Master protocol clinical trials are innovative study designs that allow multiple sub-studies to be conducted under a single overarching framework. They enable simultaneous investigation of multiple treatments or multiple conditions, providing faster, more flexible, and more efficient solutions for complex clinical research, particularly in areas such as oncology.

The MaP Toolbox gathers a wide variety of resources to guide researchers at every stage of a master protocol trial, with resources organised into four main categories:

1.  Planning and Design

2.  Trial Conduct

3.  Regulatory

4.  Statistics and Data Management

 

You can access a wide range of contents, such as:

• Scientific articles and regulatory guidelines
• Expert recommendations and practical templates
• Checklists and meta-analyses
• Videos and podcasts

With over 100+ resources already available and regular updates planned, the MaP Toolbox is continuously expanding to provide the most up-to-date support for complex clinical trial design and implementation.

The toolbox is designed for clinical researchers who wish to deepen their understanding of complex and innovative clinical trial methodologies. It may also serve as a valuable resource for sponsors, regulators, ethics committee members, and patients seeking clearer insights into these approaches.
