CCLG Trials

Every clinical trial has a protocol which sets out information relating to the purpose, design and conduct of the trial.
Protocols tend to be lengthy, often very complex documents although they do contain patient information sheets which describe the trial in simpler terms for patients and families. (For more information on trials and protocols see Introduction to Clinical Trials).

The CCLG is working closely with CancerHelp UK, a free patient information service from Cancer Research UK, to produce lay summaries of all open trial protocols so as to make them freely available to patients and families through the CancerHelp UK website. A number of these have now been completed and more will come on line in the coming months. These can be found found at http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/trials/trials/default.asp. Click on 'Children's' in the drop down menu that appears for a list of all trial summaries.
