.....My GBP role has allowed me to learn skills that can't be taught in a classroom and, alongside my MSc, has challenged me to deepen my understanding of clinical trial statistics.”

This trial had to overcome many obstacles! But is a great example of how team science - and a lot of perseverance🤣 - is needed in designing and delivering clinical trials.

Many thanks @TBarnhofer for leading this trial!

As part #ICTD2025, ExeCTU celebrates the publication of the RESPOND trial in Lancet Psychiatry, 2025; 12: 433–46. Funded by @NIHRresearch Research for Patient Benefit, this trial involved people with difficult-to-treat depression.

The trial showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) significantly improved depression symptoms compared to treatment as usual, in people whose depression hadn't improved with previous treatments.
