Inappropriate & Insufficient training at Entry level hammers your growth in Clinical Research

Clinical Research means that research you are doing is very important and responsible. Let me clarify here that in Clinical Research you work on only human subjects, those may be healthy volunteers or patients. As you are not dealing with any kind of animal experimentation,so human life becomes all the more important while doing the research. You should be careful about drugs safety profile and efficacy profile. Read our full blog here…

Diabetic trials: Important Thing to remember

Diabetes being a metabolic disorder needs diet and life style modification. That means if somebody has diabetes then he/she should take diet of limited calories, so that it is easy to digest and releases less glucose in the body. Pharmaceutical Industry has made tremendous effort in developing diabetic drugs that help diabetes patients to maintain normal blood sugar levels. They need various clinical trials to be conducted on diabetes patients so that they can find out whether their drug is…

Importance of Placebos in Clinical Trials

What actually is a Placebo?

A Placebo is a substance that appears to be a medical intervention but it is not in reality. It does not contain any active substance and also does not have any effect on human health. Placebos are available as pills, injections, or any other type of fake treatment. Sham interventions like mock electrical stimulation or simulated surgical procedures, and acupuncture needles are also considered as placebos. And among all these injections are seen to be more…

Life Sciences in Clinical Research: An Important Decision

Life science deals with science of living organisms. So it means research activities related to living organism. During the course of life sciences you study about Physiology, Pathology, Histology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biophysics, Biotechnology and so on. These all subjects are also taught to MBBS, BDS, and BAMS.Read more

Sponsor can create of positive relationship with site and that from the onset itself. This may include study design decisions and execution decision that reduces operational hiccups, prevent protocol amendments and decreases burden in particular on site. To make efficient trials, sponsor should aim for building good relationships with investigators to collaborate. Although starting and then nurturing Sponsor Site relationship can be difficult assignment because of increased competition. Read…

The rapid growth of Clinical trial for Covid 19

Clinical trials have always been proven a boon for good human health. For several years it has been conducted according to the standard procedures but COVID-19 acted as a catalyst and induced changes in clinical trials.

There were hundreds of trials prior to the pandemic which came to hold while many new trials have been launched. Among the new clinical trials, most of the trials are for the effective treatment and interventions against COVID-19 for which the medical personals and…

Improving Clinical Data: An important Step in Clinical Research

Clinical Research is an important field, where in Researchers work on various new drug molecules and establishes its efficacy and safety. The major point to note here is that for efficacy and safety parameters data must be accurate and clean. If the data is not validated and accurate then it may have false results. Improving study data is critical and it should be done very carefully. The methods to do data cleaning include following

As we record patients data on CRF, so It is…

The importance of clinical trial

The clinical trials are very important

The trials are very important as without it, we are unable to know if a certain treatment is both effective and safe. Trials are designed to resolve all the questions needed to be answered regarding a specific new medication or treatment. Without the trials, there is a risk that the treatments given to people may not work or may be harmful.

Researchers try to find out the efficacy, potency, dosing, side effects and impact of the medication…

How I Become a Clinical Researcher?

Clinical trials are one of the most important ­ areas of research, which involve various phases of the trials such as phase I to Phase IV. As the phase of a clinical trial is increased the adverse events/serious adverse events tend to decrease, which means Phase I is the most risky of all, and phase IV is the least risky. The higher the risk, the more carefully it has to be done. It means that If you are a CRC (clinical research coordinator) doing phase 1 to Phase III trials, then you need…

Impact of Covid-19 on clinical trials

COVID-19 has significantly disrupted clinical trials and has resulted in a long pipeline of trials to be conducted or yet to complete. These include:

1. Delay in the initiation of planned trials.

2. Temporary suspension of patient recruitment.

3. Delay in ethics committee meetings.

4. Overall slow recruitment in ongoing trials.

5. Extension of the trial duration.

6. Overstressed hospitals and resource systems.

7. Change of physical visits into virtual…

Important factors for perfect and successful clinical trial recruitment campaign

There are many factors which work together in running a perfect and successful clinical trial and patient recruitment is one of those important factors. It is the most crucial factor but has “not so good” reputation as it takes longer time which is responsible for slow down of the research process. With correct strategies to recruit volunteers, enrolling does not take much of the time of trial’s progress. Read in detail about these factors…

What is clinical research and how is it important in the development of any drug?

Clinical research is a branch of healthcare system that determines the safety, effectiveness and efficacy of medicine, diagnostic products and course of action of a treatment for human use which is accomplished via clinical trials.

Clinical trials are kind of research projects that help to develop new drugs and better ways to detect, diagnose, treat and prevent diseases. Clinical trials are properly framed with a precise study protocol under certain conditions like…

Myths and Realities of Clinical Trials

There are many myths regarding clinical trials that are just myths which need to be removed and the realities about them should be made clear to general people so that they do not shy out from being into a trial. Let’s start with first myths and realities of clinical trials.

Myth #1: Generally people think they’ll be treated like a guinea pig. They think that if they join a clinical trial they will not get the respect and will be treated just as a model to test unknown medications or…

Participation in Clinical Trials is Rewarding

Whether it is a new treatment or a medication, it needs to get approved by the FDA prior reaching to the patients. For approval, the treatments or medications go through clinical trials in which they are tested precisely in each and every stage in which volunteers play the most crucial role. Without the involvement of the volunteers or human participants, the trials are not possible to be conducted…

Why Clinical Trials are Necessary?

Clinical trials are very crucial for drug development and improvement of human health and clinical study outcomes are unpredictable. Researchers may have tested similar drugs and formulated hypotheses, but they can never know the effects of a treatment or medication without conducting studies. Along with testing new drugs and devices, the clinical trials also provide treatments to the patients on a scientific basis. Clinical trials help to determine whether new medicine or treatment…
