MABEL one step closer!

Exciting news regarding the MABEL Study. All Actigraphs reports where calculated and received by each site. All on site monitoring visits have been completed and the team/sites have successfully closed all the open queries in REDCap this February 2024. We are at present entering Soft Lock Phase and Data Analysis is to begin shortly, with the plan to have some preliminary results to present at the Investigator Meeting in June 2024 to which we are expecting representatives from all participating sites either in person or via video link. HHTU would like to say thank you to all sites involved to get us to this point, this marathon is not over but we know that the finish line is in the horizon.     

STARLIT-2 recruits it’s first participant!

The STARLIT-2 study opened at two sites recently and has now successfully recruited it’s first participant! STARLIT is a 3-stage programme that aims to develop ways to diagnose adrenal insufficiency by measuring cortisol in saliva samples which will lead to needle-free testing. The second stage within the STARLIT programme will be comparing the blood sample test to the needle-free test in healthy adults and children. This first participant marks a great milestone for the study. Congratulation STARLIT team!

Congratulations the DOORStep team on obtaining Research Ethics Committee (REC), Confidentiality Advisory Group (CAG), Research & Evaluation Coordinator Advisory Committee (RIDAC) & Health Research Authority (HRA) Approvals in February. DOORStep is a cluster randomized GP feasibility trial funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research and will assess whether offering free, bookable, door-to-door transport to and from breast cancer screening appointments could increase the number of women attending screening.
