Depending on the type of clinical trial, trial supplies such as trial drugs or medical devices, specialised equipment, or specimen collection kit components, may be required.

• The NSW Health Statewide Biobank can develop and produce specimen collection kits.
• The Hunter Cancer Biobank  can assist you in your clinical trial through the following services:
  • Designing specimen collection protocols and establishing hierarchy for the cataloguing and storage of specimens
  • Provision of archival tissue to trial units (pending consent, HREC approval and Access Request Review approval)
  • Facilitating the transfer of specimens from local study sites to central laboratories
  • Processing of trial specimens for investigator driven studies (including both fresh tissue and liquid specimens)
