About ORTU
The Oxford Respiratory Trials Unit (ORTU) is a Clinical Trials Unit which specialises in the design, delivery, analysis and administration of trials across the broad scope of Respiratory Medicine and Respiratory Diseases.
We run national and international trials related to our academic areas of interest, as well as supporting trials led by other teams and industry. Our scope of work includes clinical trials at all phases, including translational studies, phase II discovery studies and multicentre definitive randomised trials.
We partner with a broad range of academic funders (National Institute of Health Research, Medical Research Council, British Lung Foundation, National Cancer Research Institute, CRUK) and partners in industry. Key funding for ORTU is derived from the NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN) and the Oxford NIHR Biomedical Research Centre.
