Trial Progress
Basil-3 officially began its 3-year recruitment phase in February 2016, however due to receiving regulatory approval ahead of schedule, the lead centre (Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust) successfully entered the trial's first two participants during January of 2016.
As of 13 Jun 2019, a total of 34 clinical centres are open to recruit to the Basil-3 trial; 29 in England, 3 in Scotland, and 2 in Wales. All of the 34 clinical centres have cumulatively recruited 411 participants. Once recruitment is resumed we hope to open two more centres in the next six months.

The Basil-3 trial team are still accepting expressions of interest from UK-based vascular centres. NHS Trusts in England and Health Boards in the devolved nations should contact the Basil-3 trial office with the name of their proposed Principal Investigator to begin the start-up process for their site. We would typically expect a site Principal Investigator to be a Consultant Interventional Radiologist or a Consultant Vascular Surgeon with prior clinical research experience. Please see the contact us page for details of how to get in touch.
