Clinical Trials Co-ordination Unit (CTCU)
The primary purpose of the Clinical Trials

of investigator led clinical trials. The unit provides a wide range
of services including; study design protocol development, cost
estimates for grant funding applications, study setup study quality
management, study randomisation service, data management and
statistical analysis.
In November 2007 the CTCU Achieved full UKCRC trial unit

opportunities. It is the only such registered unit in the Greater
Manchester region.
Currently the CTUC has a portfolio of 15 managed trials,
including major national and international multi centre trials
covering over 120 clinical research sites investigating treatment
for patients with a range of cancers
The unit has been awarded funds from the HTA, CRUK and
Breakthrough Breast Cancer, totalling over 2.5 million pounds. In
2010 additional pump priming infrastructure funding was awarded by
the Christie Charity to facilitate future expansion.
