About Exeter CTU

Collaborating with ambitious researchers on the design and delivery of high-quality and efficient clinical trials and other well-designed studies

Exeter CTU works in partnership with researchers and clinicians across the trial lifecycle: refining research questions, optimising study design, developing funding applications, trial set-up and delivery, analysis, write up and dissemination. The team has extensive experience in trials methodology, study design, database programming, trial and data management, monitoring, statistical programming, analysis and reporting. We have experts in health economics, process evaluation and qualitative research and work closely with other expert methodologists, including in Patient and Public Involvement, as well as NIHR colleagues including in the Exeter Clinical Research Facility, the Research Design Service and the Applied Research Collaboration South West Peninsula (PenARC).

Our trial portfolio includes large, multi-centre studies in the South West of the UK, nationally and internationally. Studies include regulated drug trials, surgical, device and apps trials and trials of complex interventions, including in orthopaedics and emergency medicine.
