The CTC is recognised worldwide as a centre of excellence in
clinical trials research. We have recruited over 65 000 patients
into more than 100 trials, working in collaboration with over 800
clinical investigators from around the world.
We are proud to have significantly changed medical practice in
many areas, to improve human health, longevity, and
quality of life, through our ongoing leadership and active
collaboration in global trials research.
Our research activities include:

activities
- Measuring patient quality-of-life experiences with different
treatments
- Combining and reviewing trial evidence to inform future
policy and practice
- Developing new methods of data analysis for current
and future research
- Evaluating tests used for the diagnosis, prognosis and
prediction of treatment outcomes
- Analysing the cost-effectiveness of treatments and
