Trials Delivery

Trials Delivery is essential in the development of new treatments for dementia.

DPUK has created a Trials Delivery Framework, an engine designed to make it easier for researchers to create a study or trial. It facilitates the process of trial recruitment by streamlining the process, bringing the right people to the right place for the right project.

Precision-matching volunteers to early-phase trials based on detailed genetic and observed characteristics ensures that researchers testing therapies and interventions can quickly and robustly understand what works – and what does not.

Inside our programme we have:

    • 2 pre-clinical registers
    • 1 clinical register
    • Feasibility tools to help researchers find suitable participants which meet specific requirements
    • A network of more than 30 participating centres throughout the UK

Our registers of volunteers

DPUK runs two pre-clinical registries of public volunteers: Great Minds a growing register of more than 10,000 healthy volunteers; and a Clinical Studies Register including 58,000 individuals.

We have also just launched a clinical register: our Trials Delivery Framework Register of volunteers.

All three registers can be used to establish the right participants for a project – whether it's an experimental study or a clinical trial.
