Panthera and Rutherford Health have formed a strategic collaboration to create a network of advanced clinical trial sites for developing new cancer treatments.

Under the partnership, known as Panthera@theRutherford, Panthera’s clinical trials managing expertise will be combined with Rutherford’s UK network of advanced centres and team of key oncologists.

Rutherford’s independent network currently comprises four cancer treatment centres. These centres are located in Newport, Reading, Bedlington and Liverpool.

Rutherford’s network will draw patients from all over the UK. It provides the Pharma and contract research organisations (CROs) access to patients through over 170 ‘referring oncologists’.

Each of the Rutherford Cancer Centres has state-of-the-art diagnostics including MRI, CT, and proton beam therapy, as well as offering chemotherapy, Immunotherapy and radiotherapy treatments.

These facilities, combined with leading oncologists, Panthera’s clinical trial professionals, and an experienced cancer care team, ensure that patients receive the highest possible standard of care.
