FOI 2023 31 - Clinical Trials

 

Information Requested:

I am trying to understand the level of clinical trials activity that is taking place in the UK. Specifically can you tell me how many commercial clinical trials have been taking place in this health board during the calendar year of 2022?
This could be completed trials, or trials that are ongoing. When I say “commercial trials”, I mean trials that are funded or sponsored by a commercial company such as a pharmaceutical company.

 

Information provided for the answer:

Thank you for your recent request dated 1st March 2023.
