As you shift from academic clinical research training to hands-on research, you’ll dive deep into the complexities of sampling. In this field, “population” refers to individuals with common traits or conditions, usually linked to a specific disease. The large size and inaccessibility of a typical population make it impractical to study every affected individual. As a result, researchers usually focus on a “sample population,” a subset of the broader “target population.” The essence of sampling is to ensure that this chosen subset accurately reflects the larger group, minimizing discrepancies and gaps. Sampling is the foundational approach to selecting a group.. READ MORE »

As more treatments arrive on the market, clinical research ensures they have been proven safe and effective for public use. Today, it’s not just the treatment that comes under scrutiny but the research process itself. Any clinical research that involves human subjects must comply with ethical standards. A big part of ethical research is getting the informed consent of participants. But many people think that informed consent is what makes clinical research ethical. In reality, informed consent is not the only mark of ethical research. Similarly, there’s a belief that informed consent simply means getting a signature. In fact, a.. READ MORE »
A clear and well-documented clinical development plan (CDP) is the foundation of any good clinical study. In fact, it is a requirement for any pharmaceutical company that intends to develop and test a new drug. The CDP is a description of clinical trials that will be carried out on a drug to assess its safety and effectiveness. It covers everything from the reason for development to the features of the trial, timelines, costs, and other resources. Therefore, a good CDP must take into account regulations surrounding clinical trials, as well as good clinical practices. If you’re getting started in the.. READ MORE »
Any drugs distributed on the Canadian market must remain safe and effective for public use. Pharmacovigilance inspections ensure that the establishments producing those drugs are following the correct regulatory requirements. This involves performing GCP and GVP inspections. GCP inspections happen during the clinical trial stage to ensure compliance, while GVP inspections happen in the post-approval stage to verify that establishments continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of their drugs. As a professional working in clinical research, you should have a clear understanding of the goals, process and impact of these inspections. With this knowledge, you’ll be ready to handle..
