Once a treatment is submitted, UKRI collates evidence and data on the compound. This information is provided by:
- academics
- clinicians
- industry experts
- published literature
- other independent sources.
A team of due diligence managers validates the information and develops a briefing document for the relevant UK-CTAP sub-panel.
The sub-panels consider the briefs and provide advice on the treatments to either:
- UK-CTAP
- COVID-19 Prophylaxis Oversight Group (POG), for treatments related to prophylaxis.
UK-CTAP and POG meet to consider the advice, briefs and any other information on the treatments. This group then makes a recommendation to CMO England and the principal investigators for each trial.
CMO England and the principal investigators then decide which treatments are entered into clinical trials.
