A lung cancer patient at UCLH is the first to receive a novel cancer vaccine designed to prime the immune system to recognise and fight cancer cells. It is the first time this immunotherapy made by BioNTech SE, will be studied in a clinical trial for lung cancer in the UK, where the NIHR UCLH Clinical Research Facility is the lead research site. Approximately 130 participants will be enrolled in the study across 34 research sites in seven countries, with six UK sites selected. This is early stage research which will only recruit 20 patients across the UK so the drug will not be widely available. UCLH consultant medical oncologist Siow Ming Lee, who leads the national study said: “Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with an estimated 1.8 million deaths in 2020. “We are now entering this very exciting new era of mRNA-based immunotherapy clinical trials to investigate the treatment of lung cancer, thanks to the foundation laid by the Government’s Office for Life Sciences.” Dr Sarah Benafif is the principal investigator at UCLH of the study, which is supported by the National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre at UCLH. Prof Lee is also Professor of Medical Oncology at UCL Read more about the lung cancer vaccine: https://buff.ly/3YWvqwu #LungCancer #Research #Trial #NHS #London NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) Department of Health and Social Care Department for Science, Innovation and Technology NHS England Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Photos and captions: Aaron Chown/PA

The Better Methods for Better Research (BMBR) Programme, a joint partnership between Medical Research Council and NIHR, will now be managed by NIHR with an increased budget. BMBR has funded a variety of important research, improving how insights into treatments can be measured using real-world evidence. BMBR will remain a collaboration between MRC and NIHR, and the programme remit and approach will remain the same. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/efVGxs4a

Researchers studied the support provided for older people with learning disabilities. The best services enabled people to: 🏘️ choose where they live, and who they live with 👪🏾 maintain relationships with family and community 🏃♀️ be active 🌻 fulfil their aspirations 👍 Being paired with staff they liked (and who liked them) created strong relationships. This was particularly important for people who did not communicate with words, as staff could understand their gestures and expressions. Read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/eHG4CuMD

🤰 1 in 4 new and expectant UK mums can be affected by mental illness. Yet only around one third of women seek medical help for perinatal mental health issues, which include anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. 👶 Left untreated, these conditions have long-lasting effects on women and their children. These can take the form of developmental delays and behavioural problems. Lack of treatment comes at a high price to society too, costing the UK around £6.6 billion a year. 📋 With support from a £1.5 million NIHR Research Professorship award, consultant perinatal psychiatrist Professor Louise Howard OBE led research that investigated how common perinatal mental health conditions are in early pregnancy. ✅ Professor Howard’s NIHR-funded research has changed the course of perinatal mental health care. Her research has influenced international WHO recommendations on domestic violence as well as UK NICE guidelines, changing both policy and practice.
