Data Manager at CCTU

The UCL Institute of Clinical Trials and Methodology

The Institute was established on 1 August 2013 and is formally comprised of two Research Departments: The MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL (MRC CTU) and the Comprehensive Clinical Trials Unit at UCL (CCTU). It currently directly employs 265 staff and generates an annual income in excess of £30 million. Over time and building on the strengths of its Research Departments the mission of the Institute is to become a centre of excellence for the conduct of all phases of clinical trials, meta-analysis and epidemiological studies. Key areas of focus for the Institute will include delivering innovations in trial methodology, training and developing the next generation of trialists.

The Comprehensive Clinical Trials Unit is a specialist unit set up within the Institute of Clinical Trials and Methodology with a specific remit to design, conduct, analyse and publish clinical trials and other well-designed studies led by UCL Chief Investigators. The CCTU provides clinical, statistical, and trial operations and facilitates the delivery of high quality, regulatory compliant clinical trials of investigational medicinal products (IMPs) and non-IMP trials. The CCTU is a registered CTU with the capability to centrally coordinate multi-centre clinical trials (i.e. having overall responsibility for the design, development, recruitment, data management and analysis of trials) with robust systems to ensure conduct and delivery of clinical trials to the highest quality standard.
