The BHF SENIOR-RITA trial is an ongoing BHF funded clinical trial evaluating a conservative versus invasive strategy in the management of NSTEMI among patients aged 75 years and over. The BHF have awarded a costed extension to achieve a total sample size of 1668 participants (1310 recruited to date).
The trial is looking for enthusiastic new sites across the UK to help recruit the remaining ~350 participants. The trial is currently on the NIHR Managed Recovery Initiative. If you or your hospital are interested, please contact Dr. Vijay Kunadian.
More information about the trial
The BHF CRC offer UK researchers the opportunity to consult with a leading CTU to address questions in, and refine the design of, research projects. Eligible projects must be towards the later stages of development (rather than conceptual) and be of sufficient scale or merit that they will attract the support of one of our established Research Groups. Smaller scale studies or those in early-stage development are not applicable for this initiative and should be directed towards the NIHR Research Design Service. Researchers can choose the CTU they would like to work with from the list of our partnered CTUs.
