Dr. Nancy Butcher

Very excited to officially announce the launch of CommuniKIDS – a new trial results communication template for sharing results from pediatric trials! Available now via @clinicaltrialON: bit.ly/38KIWvm (thread 1/7)

On #RareDiseaseDay2025, we stand together to advocate for equitable access to diagnosis, treatment, and support. We partnered with RareKids-CAN to provide training for clinical trials. The goal is to make discoveries and advances for kids, teens, and their families in Canada.

Add in something about a hobby, a fave book, movie or tv show. Show patient partners your non-academic side -- as goodness knows they generally share a lot of personal details with you that no other team members are expected to share /end

Hey research teams/orgs that engage #PatientPartners! Please build in a very large chunk of time at your 1st team or other type of mtg for intros. This is really key to starting to build your relationship and trust. #PatientEngagement #ConsumerInvolvement #PPI /1

Thankfully, more children with complex genetic diseases are surviving to adulthood. But the adult healthcare system is not ready to care for them. We offer some ideas for ways forward: cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.… @CMAJ @dreyalcohen @AmolAVerma @UHN

Most #NICU drugs are off label, we have little idea what dosages are optimal for preterms. Every neonatal drug RCT is a potential opportunity to address this problem. Thanks @karelallegaert for your advocacy on this! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @EBNEO @IMPaCTrials @CIHR_IHDCYH
