Request:
I am trying to understand the level of clinical trials activity that is taking place in the UK. Specifically, can you tell me how many commercial clinical trials have been taking place in this health board during the calendar year of 2023?
This could be completed trials, or trials that are ongoing. When I say “commercial trials” I mean trials that are funded or sponsored by a commercial company such as a pharmaceutical company.
Information disclosed:
A total of 24 commercial trials have taken place within University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust in the calendar year 2023.
You might be interested to know that information relevant to all ongoing trials in which the Trust is participating can be accessed on the National Institute for Health and Care Research website.
