Clinical trial design resources

One of the aims of UK DCTN is to improve the standard of design for randomised controlled trials (RCTs), allowing researchers to choose the most effective trial to answer their research questions.

We also want to ensure that trials can be completed as efficiently as possible and to the highest ethical standards.
