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. Since then, the trial has managed to meet or exceed each of its monthly targets, which are set by the National Institute for Health Research's HTA programme. This early success has firmly placed the cumulative recruitment total ahead of schedule.
As of 07 Jan 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. We have 2 clinical centres which we anticipate will open to recruitment in the next 30 days. Tens of centres have formally expressed interest in opening Basil-3 and are at varying stages of start-up; we anticipate the majority of these opening within 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.
