Newsletter 18

The 18th DeLIVER Newsletter

Dear DeLIVER Research Teams,

 

We’re back with a brief update on DeLIVER and the PEARL and SELINA studies. It was great to see so many of you on the update/Q&A call last week – thanks you to all those that dialled in. Our next call will be Monday April 7th at midday (for 30 minutes).

 

We are delighted that the DeLIVER programme has recently been granted a no-cost extension by our funders, CRUK, extending the project through to 31st December 2026. This is fantastic news as it will enable us to continue our study visits and perform detailed analysis on all the samples collected so far. Freezers are now ordered, and scheduled very soon for delivery, so that we can shortly begin receiving samples (and then send them on for analysis). Thank you for your patience in this.

 

Participant Newsletter

As discussed at previous site catch ups, we are planning to send out a participant newsletter. We plan to send this to you in the next few days for distribution – many thanks in advance to the teams for doing this. Patient feedback, for a study this side is a real challenge – but I hope through this letter we go some way to doing that.

We also have a patient/public engagement event scheduled for Thursday 15th May 2025, 5-6pm, that we will advertise in the letter. Participants can register at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/find-out-about-liver-cancer-tickets-1205605732199?aff=oddtdtcreator

 

Study Recruitment

PEARL

Recruitment total: 2092/3000

 To ensure we have at least one follow up visit for each participant, we need to reach our overall target by June 2025. With a 3-month window either side of the 18 month follow up, we’ve extended the recruitment end date to 30th September 2025. These next few months will be crucial in ensuring we reach our target with enough time for effective follow up.

We’ve previously requested that each site aim to recruit 4 participants per month. If everyone does this, we’d reach our target ahead of time so please can we ask that you do everything possible to boost recruitment over the next several months. The follow up visits and sample collection are incredibly important for the study, and the sooner we recruit participants, the more time we have for this.

We’re so close to reaching our overall target. Huge thank you to everyone involved in ongoing recruitment and follow up visits.
