Introducing PACT

The Pulmonary Fibrosis Australasian Clinical Trials (PACT) Network is a new comprehensive and integrated clinical research program for Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) that aims to change PF in Australia. It will provide a powerful springboard for Australia’s world-class PF researchers to drive the search for new evidence to guide future PF care. PACT Network was formed as part of a broader initiative – the Centre of Research Excellence in Pulmonary Fibrosis (CRE-PF). It will act as an advocate and facilitator for clinical trials through its management and support of investigator driven and industry sponsored studies.
