Reflections on the opportunities and challenges of applying experience‐based co‐design (EBCD) to phase 1 clinical trials in oncology

Abstract

Experience-Based Co-Design (EBCD) is a multi-stage participatory action research process which was developed originally to increase patient involvement in service improvement initiatives. This viewpoint article serves as a reflection on the researchers' experiences, focusing on the application and feasibility of participatory approaches, particularly co-design, in the specific context of early-phase clinical trials.
