The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic is one of most transformative events in recent history, affecting nearly every aspect of everyday life. Not only were commerce, education, and millions of lives affected, but the lifesaving research urgently needed to combat the disease also faced serious impediment due to the nature of the crisis:
- How can a medical center continue to operate as a research site while overwhelmed with the critically-ill?
- How can long-term efficacy be assessed in a patient population that is declining over time in most areas?
- How can the varying availability of medications across the world be accounted for to maintain data quality?
To combat the largest pandemic in recent history and generate sufficient evidence of the efficacy and safety of potential treatments, the World Health Organization (WHO) needed to mount an equally massive clinical trial, while at the same time addressing these overwhelming research challenges.
