At the outbreak of Covid-19 the BRC refocused its work and resources on tackling the virus.

UCLH paused all trials unless they were related to Covid-19, or where the treatment involved was essential for serious or life-threatening conditions. This meant the halted trials could no longer screen or recruit patients.
