The Department’s National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Network reports that of the 92 breast cancer clinical trials it was supporting on 21 May 2020, 36 or 39% were paused as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 26 March 2021, 30 or 83% of these paused breast cancer trials have restarted and 25 new breast cancer trials have entered the portfolio since 21 May 2020.
