Recruitment to Lung Cancer studies * ** *175 from SYMPLIFY - Observational study to assess a multi-cancer early detection test in individuals referred with signs and symptoms of cancer. **180 from SYMPLIFY 59 from Pleural Effusion Biomarker study 50 from CR UK Stratified Medicine Pilot study
Managed Recovery (MR) - Requested by DHSC, NIHR is working with funders, NHS R&D, research partners across the UK and patients and the public on a process to manage the recovery of multi-site studies. Stage 1: Funders identified the most urgent studies Stage 2: National Speciality Leads reviewed their portfolio to assess other studies that fell into scope. - Research delivery teams worked with LCRNs and R&D leadership to discuss and assess site, regional and national delivery capacity and capability. - https://www.nihr.ac.uk/researchers/managing-research-recovery.htm
This process has: Generated a list of studies that the funders and sponsors consider to be the most urgent to resume once capacity becomes available Studies are: Interventional, multi-site, urgent and require the support of NIHR CRN and its Devolved Administration equivalents Initial focus: Studies which can fully recruit and/or close in the next year Studies which are already open and recruiting successfully should not be paused in anticipation of, or as a result of, this process.
CRN High Level Objectives (HLOs) Efficient Study Delivery metrics: Proportion of new commercial studies closed in the year (Mar 21-Apr 22) recruiting to time and target Proportion of commercial studies in the MR process recruiting to time and target Proportion of non-commercial studies in the MR process recruiting to time and target These are being measured at study level.
