The research industry is changing rapidly and embracing patient-centric practices. When COVID-19 restrictions came into effect, a large part of the industry moved to remote modalities for the sake of research continuity. With these remote practices, researchers became more conscious of the participant experience and prioritized the participants’ comfort. That said, simply moving to remote research…
Clinical trial training is essential to explain the specifics of a complex research protocol. To that end, the training programs are designed while keeping in mind good clinical practices (GCP), International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), and other regulatory matters. But how can you make your clinical trial training more effective and streamlined? Here are some tips…
According to the estimates, over $2 billion were recovered under the False Claims Act cases in 2020. Every year, a significant number of clinical trial sponsors are legally penalized and face delays in their research study results owing to errors in budget and billing compliance. Some even jeopardize their studies by constantly getting flagged by the…
Setting up studies and ensuring their seamless operation is a difficult task. It is a multi-faceted process that can be prone to unnecessary delays. There are a lot of stakeholders and decisions involved in setting up study sites. The process can be overwhelming for sponsors, CROs, research sites, and clinicians and has historically been marred…
Clinical research studies hold a very important place in the American patient care sector. From drug trials to diagnostics and interventions, clinic researchers help stakeholders optimize and improve their medical practices to ensure a better healthcare infrastructure is created for the masses. But starting a clinical research study is not an easy task. From acquiring Institutional…
Modern research trials are expensive to conduct. CROs, sponsors, clinicians, and everyone involved in clinical trials require a lot of resources to conduct swift, seamless, and result-oriented trials. Therefore, replication is a fundamental concept in modern research trials. To ensure the credibility of any scientific claim or research results, it is essential to replicate the study using…
Clinical trials are vital for advancing medical research and healthcare, but they often require time and resources. From recruiting participants to monitoring outcomes, a successful clinical trial comprises many steps. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in decentralized trials as an alternative to traditional clinical trials. But what exactly is a decentralized…
In the world of clinical research, the use of technology is becoming increasingly important to increase accuracy. One technology gaining traction is Randomization and Drug Supply Management (RTSM). RTSM in Clinical Research is a powerful tool that allows medical researchers to gain valuable insight into their research and uncover new opportunities for improving their methods. In…
Although the benefits of virtual clinical trials can’t be overemphasized, challenges exist, which may slow their adoption. Currently, conducting virtual clinical trials make up an extremely small fraction of over thousands of registered US-based clinical research studies. Plus, industry experts are cautious of the complete adoption of virtual trials with issues like pervasive conservative corporate…
Conversations about clinical trial data privacy in clinical trials require an in-depth understanding of key regulations — and with multinational trials becoming more prevalent, being familiar with global regulations has become paramount. In the US, HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) are the main…
