Cambridge Cancer Trials Centre team

The CCTC manages a portfolio of over 250 clinical trials and studies, including around 120 currently open for recruitment. Our research covers all phases in the development of new drugs, as well as investigating new ways of treating, controlling and preventing cancer.

As well as our CUH based research, we also coordinate major studies involving different research centres. We are particularly well placed to translate advances in research into effective, innovative treatments for patients, because we are able to share expertise between the hospital, the university and CRUK.

Cambridge Cancer Trials Centre Strategic Plan

CCTC team
Our team of around 100 staff, includes consultants, specialist registrars, researchers, and trial managers and administrators. As a patient, however, most of your contact will probably be with our specialist nurses, who make up around half the team. These nurses work across the hospital, caring directly for patients, while supporting the work of the trials team.
