ACCELERATE Data Transparency Initiative
Eli Lilly, in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic Coordinating Center for Clinical Research (C5Research), will provide access to the individual patient data from the ACCELERATE trial to enable the advancement of cardiovascular research. Proposals will be accepted beginning May 2018. This access is provided in a timely fashion after the primary publication. Researchers must have an approved research proposal to gain access to the trial's patient data.
- Please submit your proposal through our ACCELERATE Data Request Form.
Access to the data will be provided in a secure data sharing environment after signing a data sharing agreement.
