The MRC Clinical Trials Unit runs trials in a range of disease areas.  We specialise in trials in infectious diseases and in cancer, but we also run trials in other areas.

Most of the trials we run are randomised controlled trials.   The following pages give more information about clinical trials.  However, it is only a brief introduction. A list of websites that provide more information about trials can be found on the Useful Links page.
