When PRIMENT CTU has agreed to collaborate on a study, the PRIMENT CTU staff allocated to the project meet with the Chief Investigator and study team to clarify details of the protocol such as the trial population, trial design, details of the intervention and the comparator, outcomes of interest and analysis plan. They also review operational and data issues, and costings.
When funding for the study has been confirmed PRIMENT CTU members provide further input, for example: reviewing and finalising the trial protocol and the analysis plan, finalising the randomisation procedures, operationalising the research, developing data collection forms and trial manuals, database development, providing guidance on ethics and local NHS R&D applications and assisting with the Clinical Trial Application (CTA) if necessary.
PRIMENT CTU can also provide support in the following areas: project management, financial planning, quality assurance, quality control, IT support and administrative support.
