The Children's Brain Tumour Drug Delivery Consortium takes on the challenge of drug delivery over the blood-brain barrier, to children with brain tumours

[CBTDDC @cbtddc]

In response to our community highlighting 'difficulty navigating the regulatory landscape' as a major challenge to clinical translation, we have produced a roadmap document that we hope will help: https://t.co/5xcPnpay01 @CRUKCamPaeds @EdinCRC @CwC_UK_Research @rumanrahman01

Because of slow & variable study set-up timelines, the number of participants recruited to industry clinical trials fell by 44% between 2017/18 & 2021/22. As a result, the number of industry clinical trials initiated in the UK per year has fallen by 41% between 2017 and 2021.
