The Leukaemia Research Fund (LRF) has provided funds for a new Early Phase Trials Development Team based at the Cancer Research UK Clinical Trials Unit.

The aim of this new team is to help investigators in haematological malignancies (including lymphoma) develop trial ideas into grant submissions and protocols in the shortest time possible. This resource is available to all UK investigators.

The team aims to collaborate closely with the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) Haematological Oncology and Lymphoma Clinical Studies Groups (CSG) who will review the trial ideas being developed to ensure that they are in line with the NCRI portfolio and that imperative ideas take priority.
