Cancer Research UK & UCL Cancer Trials Centre (H01)

Cancer Inst

The Cancer Research UK and UCL Cancer Trials Centre (CTC) is one of the largest dedicated cancer trials units in the UK. It was formed in 1997, and is now a research department within the UCL Cancer Institute. The CTC develops and conducts high quality studies to find new ways of treating or detecting cancer, and understanding mechanisms of how cancer develops. It has established collaborations with clinicians and scientists, nationally and internationally, to generate new scientific research proposals, develop laboratory projects associated with CTC studies, and train a new generation of clinical trials specialists.

Studies are conducted in a wide range of tumours, primarily, lung, lymphoma, gastrointestinal, head and neck, gynaecology, brain, and sarcoma. Cancer Research UK provides the main source of core funding, with additional core support from the Lymphoma Research Trust. Individual projects are funded by competitive grants from Cancer Research UK, the Lymphoma Research Trust, the Medical Research Council, NIHR, and major pharmaceutical companies.

Patient Engagement Day

H01 CRUK & UCL CTC Patient Engagement Day 2025

Description

Celebrating patient involvement and engagement in clinical research 

Following a successful first edition in 2023, the CRUK & UCL CTC’s Patient Engagement Day will return on 17 June 2025. In collaboration with our patient and public representatives, we have organised our second day of talks, workshops and interactive activities around the topics of: 

  • The importance of PPIE in cancer research
  • The role of PPIE in developing and running a clinical trial
  • PPIE representatives – responsibilities, qualities & support
  • Impact of PPIE across the CTC and beyond clinical trials
  • Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

H01 PIS Workshop How To Design Clear & Accessible Patient Information Sheets 080725

Description

Patient Information Sheets (PIS) are a key document for potential participants to make an informed decision about whether to take part in a clinical study.  While there is clear guidance from the Health Research Authority (HRA) on content and regulatory requirements, PIS are customised for each clinical trial and the specific patient population. Choosing the right language and format for patient facing materials for research studies and clinical trials still greatly varies and depends on the skills and experience of the team putting them together.

 

Course tutors: Linda Von Neree, Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Lead, BRTU PPI.

H01 CAR-T Cell Therapy In Cancer Clinical Trials

Description

CAR-T Cell Therapy In Cancer Clinical Trials Manufacturing Regulations & Clinical Delivery Course.

Aims: This course offers a thorough exploration of CAR-T cell therapies (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell) within the realm of clinical trials. Participants will delve into the historical background of CAR-T therapies, their classifications, regulatory frameworks, safety considerations, mechanisms of action, and the role of viral vectors. Additionally, the course emphasizes Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), addressing essential considerations, manufacturing processes, and quality control. By the end of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of CAR-T therapies in the context of clinical trials, including practical insights into managing CAR-T cell therapy trials and an overview of their clinical implementation.

 

The course will provide delegates an excellent opportunity to network with scientists and trial managers from the UCL CAR-T Programme, the most comprehensive programme in Europe to manufacture and deliver CAR-T cell therapies across a broad study portfolio.

H01 Entering Patients Into Clinical Trials - Pre-treatment Screening & Eligibility 150525

Description

This session gives a comprehensive overview of the clinical pathways cancer patients can take to be eventually referred for trial entry. The first part of the session spans across the diagnostic methods and staging of cancer and gives a brief overview of the common tests carried out prior to trial treatment.

In the second part of the session participants will learn about the importance of ensuring only eligible patients enter a trial and how eligibility criteria help to safeguard patients and differ amongst different phases of trials. They will also learn the importance of assessing treatment compliance and how every clinical intervention comes with a different set of challenges in collecting data about patient compliance.

H01 Navigating Cancer Clinical Trials: Essential Knowledge for Statisticians

Description

This training course aims to provide participants with an introduction to the biology, diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancer, with a focus on how these factors influence the key outcome measures in cancer clinical trials, such as adverse events, treatment response, survival rates, and other time-to-event endpoints. 

 

The course will provide delegates an excellent opportunity to network with statisticians from other UKCRC registered clinical trial units.

Description

This session, aimed at non-statisticians, will cover the most common primary outcomes measures used in early and late phase cancer trials.

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will learn what makes a good outcome measure, how outcomes measures are defined and what data need to be collected to assess the outcome, especially for tumour response assessment and time to event measures such as survival and disease (or progression) free survival.
