STRESS-L is suspended during COVID-19 pandemic 18.03.2020

As of 18 March 2020, STRESS-L has been temporarily halted to screening and recruitment until further notice. This decision has come following recent NIHR guidance to move towards supporting the Urgent Public Health research portfolio for COVID-19. The NIHR EME remain fully supportive of the trial and recruitment will recommence when are in the position to do so.

Sites are asked to move all IMP stored on ICU to pharmacy as soon as possible to ensure essential temperature monitoring continues and inform the STRESS-L trial team when this has been completed.

We ask recruitment sites to continue with essential safety reporting for STRESS-L patients and to suspend all other trial activity. The STRESS-L trial team will suspend all non-urgent requests to recruitment sites during this time. We do not wish to pose any burden on research staff during this time but if recruitment sites feel they have capacity to continue with data queries during this time please let the STRESS-L trial team know and we will continue to work through these with you.

Thank you to all of our recruitment sites for your hard work on the STRESS-L trial. We look forward to working with you again soon. Best wishes to all.
