About OCTRU
OCTRU is a registered UKCRC Clinical Trials Unit. Based within the University of Oxford, the unit works closely with the Oxford Trauma, Oncology Clinical Trials Office, Surgical Intervention Trials Unit, Experimental Medicine and Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Research in Oxford groups.
The Oxford Clinical Trials Research Unit (OCTRU) has integrated several trials groups from across Oxford and working in different therapeutic areas into a single UKCRC registered Clinical Trials Unit (CTU).
OCTRU aims to design, conduct and report in both early and later phase clinical trials predominately in surgery, musculo-skeletal sciences and oncology.
We focus in particular on development pathways and the evaluation of new health technologies in:
- surgery and interventional procedures (including anaesthetics, surgical procedures, pre- and post-surgical care)
- trauma, rehabilitation and conservative management
- pharmaceuticals and imaging modalities
OCTRU was given full UKCRC Clinical Trial Unit status in August 2012 and officially launched in July 2013.
