GBS3 Trial

03/02/2025

Important update from the GBS3 trial. All the babies included in the trial have been born and we have all the data! As you can imagine, with 71 trial sites and thousands of participants, there is a lot of data to process so this is going to take time. But this is such a milestone that Jane and Kate from the trial have recorded a video to update you and to thank everyone who has taken part. Thank you everyone, particularly everyone who participated in the trial, and members of the Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) groups. We couldn't have done it without you.
