“Clinical trials change lives. Faster study set-up means patients can gain access to promising new treatments sooner, giving more people the opportunity to benefit from the latest advances in areas such as cancer, vaccines and rare diseases. “Through our Industry Hub, a one-stop shop for sponsors looking to run research in the UK, and our UK-wide network of Commercial Research Delivery Centres, NIHR is making it much easier to bring world-leading trials to the UK. “By continuing to push for the UK to remain one of the best places in the world to do clinical research, were driving life-changing innovation for patients and the public. Were also attracting investment, creating skilled jobs and delivering growth that benefits communities across the country.” - NIHR CEO Professor Lucy Chappell on today's commercial clinical trials news 🚀
We’ve smashed our target for commercial clinical trials to be set up in under 150 days, from submission for approval to the first patient. It means more patients are getting cutting-edge, potentially life-saving treatments faster. Find out more: gov.uk/government/news/faste…
