“…Findings provide insight into how the PICU platform trial should be designed and operationalised, including having a broad and inclusive population eligible for inclusion onto the platform trial, with different inclusion and exclusion criteria for each domain; starting the trial with no more than three domains and prioritising the outcomes of Child quality of life and Survival (all participants). Optimal governance structure and suggestions about how any challenges to the success of the full trial can be overcome are also presented.Conclusions Young people, parents/carers and PICU staff viewed the proposed PICU platform trial to be acceptable. …”
