NIHR Clinical Trials Units

NIHR Clinical Trials Units (CTUs) are specialized facilities in the UK that design, manage, and analyze clinical research studies. Their primary focus is on trials that test new treatments, drugs, or medical interventions to determine their safety and effectiveness. Working closely with researchers and healthcare professionals, CTUs ensure that studies are conducted ethically and efficiently, following strict regulations. They support every stage of a trial, from planning and recruitment to data collection and analysis, ultimately aiming to improve healthcare outcomes for patients by providing reliable evidence for new therapies.
