What is the ATICUS NETWORK?

DID YOU KNOW BLOOD CANCER IS MOST COMMON IN CHILDREN AND TEENS?

The ATICUS Network (Accelerating Trials in Children Undergoing Stem Cell Transplant) will be the world’s first national infrastructure dedicated to paediatric stem-cell transplant trials.

The network brings together 11 leading children’s hospitals across the UK – including Great Ormond Street, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow – to ensure young patients have the same access to innovative, potentially life-saving treatments as adults.

This network is designed to transform outcomes for young patients by testing new approaches to make transplants safer, reduce complications, and improve long-term survival. ATICUS is a pioneering step towards closing the gap in childhood blood cancer research and ensuring that every child has the chance to benefit from tomorrow’s treatments today.
