Clinical Trials Taking Place In Southampton

Discover which clinical trials have been delivered in Southampton, with support of funding from Cure Leukaemia

VICTOR

The VICTOR trial is a groundbreaking clinical trial available at TAP Centres across the UK, comparing a combination of two targeted drugs to traditional chemotherapy. This trial, specifically designed for AML patients aged 60 and over, offered a less toxic and more manageable treatment option.

STELLAR

A Phase 2 randomised trial for adults with Richter’s syndrome, a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma. The STELLAR trial is the first randomised trial for Richter’s syndrome in the UK, and it demonstrates the nation’s growing ability to run trials in rare diseases. The study also includes crucial translational research that will help tailor future therapies.

AMMO

One of the TAP Network’s highest recruiting studies, AMMO trial tests a new drug in treating and extending the lives of patients with a rare bone marrow cancer, where treatment options are very limited. The treatment can be taken orally at home, making it much more convenient for patients. The trial has just concluded and results are expected to be published at the end of 2025.

PRIZM+

This pioneering Phase 2 platform trial is evaluating Zanubrutinib therapy in adults with relapsed brain lymphoma. In the first year, 20 patients with this rare and aggressive blood cancer were recruited, with first results due to be presented at an international conference next month. Later this year, recruitment will re-commence for a further 20 patients using a world-first three-drug combination, offering long-term hope for those facing limited treatment options.

We will be forever grateful to the incredible staff at the Southampton Children’s Ward that treated Keanu”. “My wife Hannah and I feel that it is the right thing to give back and get involved with fundraising for Cure Leukaemia and to help with funding for the Paediatric Network.”
