The Sydney Clinical Trials Centre (CTC) improves global health outcomes through excellence in clinical trials and related research. As a flagship centre of research excellence within the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney, we generate reliable evidence that shapes clinical practice, informs policy, and enables better care globally.

Our evidence has improved outcomes across the human lifespan, from maternal and newborn health to cancer, cardiovascular, infectious diseases and chronic diseases. We partner with global industry leaders, government agencies, health systems, research collaborators and consumers to deliver scientifically rigorous, actionable evidence with real-world impact.

CTC is recognised for excellence in trial design, delivery, analysis, and translation. Our multidisciplinary teams combine deep methodological expertise with proven operational capability to deliver complex, multi-centre trials at scale. Working closely with partners, we design studies that are feasible, fundable, and aligned to evolving clinical, consumer, and partner priorities.

Our strength lies in delivering trials that are not only scientifically rigorous, but also actionable, producing evidence that can be implemented, scaled, and adopted. Through this approach, we accelerate innovation, improve patient outcomes, and drive meaningful change in health systems.

Guided by a commitment to equity, consumer involvement, and scientific excellence, we ensure our research reflects the populations it serves and contributes to better patient care and stronger, more sustainable health systems.
