Welcome to the Clinical Trials Centre (CTC) at St Mary’s Hospital, London
The study teams at the Clinical Trials Centre are leading world class research into HIV and AIDS in both young people and adults. We investigate treatment, prevention and cure strategies and novel technologies in large multi-centre randomised controlled trials as well as observational and qualitative studies.
The launch of Imperial College's Faculty of Medicine in 1997 coincided with a new era in HIV/AIDS treatment and research. Just prior to its creation came the groundbreaking revelation that combining three antiretroviral drugs could drastically improve the prognosis of people living with HIV. The subsequent rollout of triple therapy in the UK quickly led to a steep decline in the number of people developing and dying from AIDS.
The arrival of this new, more optimistic period was in part made possible by the vital work led by clinical researchers at St Mary’s Hospital from the outset of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
