The Cambridge-led IVORY trial, supported by NIHR Cambridge Clinical Research Facility, has shown that targeting the immune system, by giving a low-dose of aldesleukin, could prevent future heart attacks by nearly 11%.

Cambridge researchers have discovered that an existing therapy which boosts protective immune cells in people who have recently had heart attacks reduces blood vessel inflammation and may reduce the likelihood of future heart attacks.

Following the fire in Car Park 1 over the weekend, teams continue to work to support patients, staff and visitors accessing services on site. We are working closely with NCP, who operate the car park, and with Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service.

If you have a car in Car Park 1:

🔵 Car Park 1 remains closed. NCP are beginning to contact vehicle owners to allow cars to be retrieved in a staged and controlled way. Please do not come to the car park unless you have been contacted or advised to do so by NCP.

🔵 If you have not already shared your details with NCP or CUH, please call 0345 050 7080 to register with the NCP team. NCP can also confirm whether a vehicle is currently unable to be moved as a result of the fire.

🔵 For queries about refunds or insurance, contact the NCP Customer Service Desk on 0345 050 7080 or via https://ncp.co.uk/help-centre/contact-us

We will continue to work closely with NCP to understand the timeframe over when the car park will re-open.

If you are coming onto the Cambridge Biomedical Campus this week:

🔵If you have an appointment or are visiting, please use the Trumpington or Babraham Road Park & Ride where possible. Two additional Stagecoach buses are running from Trumpington Park & Ride to increase service frequency.

🔵 Car Parks 2 and 6 (opposite the bus station near the roundabout with the flagpole) will be prioritised for patients and visitors.

🔵 If needed, the CUH courtesy bus, which operates around the CUH and Royal Papworth Hospital sites, can take you to hospital entrances. You can call the bus on 01223 388243.

Please note that parking on site is limited and spaces cannot be guaranteed.

We know this is a difficult and disruptive situation, particularly at this time of year, and we thank you for your patience and understanding.

We are proud to support this incredible research that highlighted in their 2024/25 annual report: A new screening test developed by Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald, involving a small capsule sponge, is being used to help detect oesophageal cancer.
As part of the trial, screening vans will also be rolled out across England, to bring this research closer into communities and reduce lives lost to cancer
The study was co-funded with and led by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and . The study received support from the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre, and NIHR East of England Regional Research Delivery Network.
