Royal free clinical trials

Find out about participating in a trial. Our clinical trials unit is an integral part of the rheumatology and pulmonary hypertension departments. Not all our trials involve medications — some of the studies are observational, in which information is gathered but no new experimental therapy is involved.

The ability to carry out early stage research into rare diseases, long-term conditions and viruses such as COVID has taken a leap forwards thanks to the opening of a new clinical research facility CRF at the Royal Free London. It provides the space, facilities and resources for the trust to carry out cutting-edge early phase research, testing new and innovative approaches to medicine to ensure that they are safe for patients.

Work carried out in the CRF will supplement the diverse portfolio of later-phase clinical research already carried out by the trust. Jasdeep has been a qualified pharmacist since holding positions including production manager, quality controller and head of research and development and an IMP QP.
