Importance: High
Dear Georgia Solidarity Team,
Congratulations on getting this far in the Solidarity Trial process! We’d like to thank for persevering with this initiative. We know it has not been easy and technology has not always played in our favour to help you move along. If you’re getting this message it is because you have participated in the demonstration of the randomization system and you are very close to enrolling your first COVID-19 patient.
As explained this morning, each of you will receive a specific email from solidarity-trial@castoredc.com inviting you to formally register to the randomization website on https://data.castoredc.com/. We will be instructing Castor EDC to send these emails to you today but it can take a day or two. Please do check your junk/spam folder as the email sometimes ends up there. Also, please don’t try to access or log-in to the system until you receive an email from Castor ECD to register. Nothing will work until you get an email and in fact, it could block your system if you try. Once you get the email from Castor ECD, it is helpful to view this 6 min registration tutorial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDCFQcHMeW4
If you have any technical difficulties with the system, please email: solidarity-trial@castoredc.com
In addition, please find attached is the full and final set of documents on the Solidarity Trial randomization system and updated user guide. And as an extra gift, we are attaching an article on the magic of randomization.
Let us know if you have any further questions
All the best,
Patrick (on behalf of the Geneva based Solidarity Team)
