Ovarian cancer clinical trials around the UK

Women with ovarian cancer told us how hard it was to find information about clinical trials taking place close to them, and that most who took part in our Pathfinder Study in 2009 had not been asked whether they would like to consider taking part in a clinical trial.

There are lots of things to consider when thinking about trials. We have some information currently on our site, with more to come very soon. Please do take a look. Unlike any other website in the UK, we now offer the facility to find out about trials in your local area, and where we have been given permission to publish it, information about how to contact the local team. It will be important to remember that you may or may not be allowed to join a trial, but it will provide a useful starting place for discussions with your clinician.

Just enter your postcode, and the distance you would be prepared to travel.
