Particular areas of interest or experience in cardiovascular trial design and delivery
The Cambridge CTU runs clinical trials of all phases and also physiological and epidemiological studies. We have a particular interest in early phase trials / experimental medicine studies and welcome studies done in partnership with industry. There are strong links with clinical pharmacology to support design and execution of first-in-human studies, and a wide range of techniques are available on site to help with early proof-of-concept / mechanism. We have established links with the MRC biostatistic Unit (on site) to help with innovative clinical trial design and are currently running a number of adaptive clinical trials. We have also worked in partnership with the NIHR BioResource to run a number of physiological profiling studies based on “recall by genotype”. We welcome approaches from investigators outside the campus and industry.
