Clinical Trials Taking Place In Sheffield
Discover which clinical trials have been delivered in Sheffield, 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.
FEDORA
Focused on patients with Myelofibrosis, the Fedora trial is tackling a critical area of unmet need, gathering information about whether a combination of treatments is tolerated, and whether it provides a therapeutic benefit to patients. The FEDORA Trial has now completed recruitment, with results expected to be published soon.
The trial is working for me, it’s put my disease under control. The care I’ve received from the doctors, nurses and phlebotomists has been marvellous – nothing is ever too much for them.
