Welcome to Imperial Clinical Trials Unit (ICTU)

This website is intended for people who are considering taking part in clinical trials and would like to find out more about what’s involved, why clinical trials are important and what the benefits of taking part in trials are. You can also find out about current clinical trials going on in ICTU and how to get involved.

Therapeutic areas

The main disease ares where ICTU carries out clinical trials are:

Cardiovascular and diabetes
Cancer
HIV and infectious disease
Emergency medicine
Surgery and Robotics

However about a quarter of our trials are in areas outside of these core areas and we continue to expand our areas of research. For example we have also conducted a number of trials in Respiratory, Gene Therapy, Mental Health and Neontal Medicine. If you would like to find out more about specific trials which are currently going on at ICTU or which we have completed, go to the 'ICTU Portfolio' at the top of this page.
