We’re committed to actively involving people affected by cancer in our mission to deliver more treatment options to people with cancer.
Collaborating with patients and bringing their voice into our work helps ensure that our clinical trials are better suited for patients and more patients will be encouraged to participate.
Our Centre for Drug Development patient panel is currently full but we welcome enquiries for future involvement.
Contact us to find out moreWe work with a dedicated panel of patient representatives from diverse backgrounds who provide input across our clinical trials and other initiatives. We seek this critical input throughout the lifecycle of our trials from the planning stage through to the publication of lay summaries of trial results.
We collaborated with Stitch and the Cancer Research UK Patient Involvement Network to create Trialmap. We’re currently piloting Trialmap on three of our clinical trials. This collaboration creates a unique opportunity for patients to manage their own trial journey.
Patients can use Trialmap to :
view information about the trial
contact our nurses for support
get reminders about appointments
feedback their experiences
We apply the insights gathered by Trialmap to give our patients the best possible experience by designing clinical trials around them.

To explain our DETERMINE trial in a more accessible way, we collaborated with people affected by cancer to develop a set of animations for adults and children.
We gained insights from focus groups and our DETERMINE patient representatives, highlighting the need to create animations. They also supported with content creation, the language used and our voiceover selection.

We actively involve people affected by cancer through the Involvement Network. They are helping us beat cancer sooner while meeting the needs of patients and their loved ones.
Clinical trials help to find out if a new treatment or procedure is safe. Visit our webpage to discover useful information and find a trial by cancer type, drug name or trial name.
