About the School/Department/Institute/Project

#ChariotMS is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase IIb trial. The aim is to test oral cladribine (Mavenclad®) compared to placebo for safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness and to advance mechanistic understanding in people with advanced Multiple Sclerosis (MS), i.e. disability severe enough to limit their ability to walk beyond a short distance with support, or not being able to walk at all, but with some retained upper limb function.

Job purpose

The post-holder will join the Quality Assurance team working within the PCTU on a wide variety of trials (CTIMPs and non-CTIMPs), and observational studies at different stages of their development and completion. The team works to ensure that the all research supported by the PCTU complies with Regulatory requirements and best practice guidelines.

It is expected that the trial will provide evidence to support widespread NHS, and international, adoption of cladribine as a treatment in people with advanced MS.
