👍 Velindre is very proud to have recruited the first patients in the UK to the Cardiff-led BICCC study. A new colorectal cancer clinical trial, BICCC aims to kick-start the T cell response so the patient’s immune system destroys any remaining cancer cells after surgery to increase disease-free survival. Velindre’s Professor Rob Jones is working with Chief Investigator Professor Andy Godkin of Cardiff University and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board on this randomised, two-arm study which will open at 10 sites around the UK.
