Glo-BNHL international clinical site monitoring

Notice Description

The trial will be delivered globally with support from these organisations and in partnership with the C17 Council in Canada and the Australia and New Zealand Children's Haematology and Oncology Group (ANZCHOG). The trial is jointly funded by Cancer Research UK, Fight Kids Cancer and industry collaborators (currently ADC Therapeutics and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals). The funding provided is contingent upon the use of vendors with a track record of delivering clinical trials of this kind. The Cancer Research UK Clinical Trials Unit (CRCTU) at the University of Birmingham is not able to perform monitoring on an international scale, therefore a suitable third-party vendor must be engaged for this critical work.
