The NICTU has a wide-ranging portfolio including expertise in Phase 2 and Phase 3 multi-centre clinical trials of investigational medicinal products (CTIMPs). The NICTU has a specific interest in the development of Phase 2 studies where these are likely to lead to larger Phase 3 studies. We also manage non IMP multi-centre trials.
