Other research
Although the main remit of BCTU is to undertake randomised controlled trials, with a specific focus on late-phase trials, we do also undertake other types of research.
This includes pilot and feasibility studies, test evaluation studies, and occasionally observational studies and systematic reviews/meta-analyses. We will support observational studies when randomised controlled trials are not possible to answer a question about the effectiveness of an intervention and/or where the quality of data collection and data management is required to be at the standard of that of a randomised controlled trial.
