Did you know that we take part in NHS research?
Beacon Medical Group is proud to be involved in clinical research studies within primary care.
Our practice is actively involved in clinical research as part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network for the South West Peninsula, as well as selected commercial studies.
Taking part in research helps us improve the quality of care we provide by contributing to new knowledge, treatments, and ways of delivering healthcare. Research not only benefits future patients but can also enhance the care of those who take part.
Many of our patients who have joined research studies tell us they find the experience rewarding, knowing they are making a valuable contribution to the future of healthcare.
If you are eligible for a study, a member of our team may contact you with further information. Participation is always voluntary, and your care will not be affected if you choose not to take part.
Current Studies
We currently have no studies open to recruitment.
Ongoing commercial trials (closed to recruitment)
VICTORION-1 PREVENT
The VICTORION-1 PREVENT study will assess if an investigational medication can prevent cardiovascular events (such as heart attacks, strokes, procedures to improve blood flow, and death) in adults who are at high cardiovascular risk and who have high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (also called ‘bad’ cholesterol), but have not yet had a major cardiovascular event.
PREVAIL
The PREVAIL trial is being conducted to determine whether an investigational new drug, previously shown to reduce circulating levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular events (like a heart attack or stroke) in individuals who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
