Enquiries

For CCTU enquiries please contact us by:

Most of our trials have a dedicated e-mail address for trial sites to direct enquiries to. The inbox is monitored by the trial team while the trial is active. Once the trial is closed, the e-mail address is closed and all enquiries should be directed to cctu-enquiries@ucl.ac.uk.

If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial that is managed by CCTU, we would encourage you to discuss the trial with your GP/treating clinician so that they can refer you to your local participating site where appropriate.
