In collaboration with the Cancer Research UK Clinical Trials Unit (CRCTU), we run an active clinical trial programme, featuring numerous NIHR Cancer Research Network-linked trials involving Birmingham-based Chief Investigators.
This involves close interaction with the CRCTU Early phase Drug Development team, and has enabled us to develop several National Cancer Research Institute-badged national trialsĀ in Birmingham.
Current clinical trials are outlined in the table below.
