The global BALANCE trial 🌏 has proven that a 7-day antibiotic course can be as effective as 14 days for treating bloodstream infections, reducing hospital stays and minimizing risks like antibiotic resistance. Sinai Health played a pivotal role in this landmark study by leveraging its new clinical trial framework, which expands research to general ward patients—a model first honed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Michael Fralick and Dr. Michael Detsky were site leads, demonstrating that inclusive, physician-led trials can transform care while advancing global collaboration. But our innovation doesn’t stop there. A new course for students is training the next generation of clinical trial leaders. This is the future of healthcare research: inclusive, impactful, and patient-centered. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4g3PO4n #HealthInnovation #ClinicalTrials #GlobalCollaboration
