Pfizer UK will provide subscription access to the Ledidi Core platform, a cloud-based service, which is an all-in-one platform for collecting, structuring, analysing and visualising data in a GDPR compliant platform with a built in mechanism of collaboration. The platform allows for the creation of registries, research projects and multi-centre collaborations with real time statistical analytics. The sharing of data between collaborators is controlled by the lead Trust and the platform does not limit the number of projects/registries/collaborations.
Here is a brief 4-minute video that provides an overview of the Ledidi platform's functionality:
Below is a selection of institutions currently using the Ledidi Core platform to run local, national, and international registries:
European Polyp Surveillance study; Spain, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Denmark, Austria, and Portugal
Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust
Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University, New York, USA
The International Liver Database Consortium. Boston University, Boston, USA
The Norwegian NevroCovid Study

Neither Pfizer nor Ledidi will have access to or be privy to any data entered onto the site, the trust remains the data owners and all anonymised patient information remains the property of the trust. Any sharing of data by the trust is through their own collaborations either within or outside of the platform and Ledidi is required to maintain adherence to data privacy laws.

All applications will be reviewed in order of application date and time on a first-come, first-served basis. Once all subscriptions have been allocated then the application portal will close. If a large number of applications are received all at once then the application portal may close until the backlog of applications is reviewed or until all grants are allocated, whichever occurs first.
All applications will be reviewed by an internal Pfizer medical review panel. Once you have submitted a request, we will also share further information regarding Ledidi Core. Additional clarification during the review period may be requested. All applicants will be notified via email regarding the outcome of their request, upon completion of the internal review process.
If your application is approved, your institution will be required to enter into a written grant agreement with Pfizer. In the event of a successful application, core terms of the agreement will be provided at a later date. Disclosure of this Pfizer donation (with/without a grant) will be required by each recipient hospital.
