Clinical data management (CDM) is one of the most integral processes in any clinical study.  Data is at the heart of research and clinical trial management. Without proper management, the research simply cannot provide the necessary data for successful drug evaluation.  Clinical data management (CDM) therefore ensures that the research gathers a sufficient level of […]

A clinical research protocol is one of the most vital components of any study.  It describes an overview of the research, including the main objectives, study design, and key considerations. It also ensures the safety of study participants and maintains the integrity of clinical data. The protocol document must be reviewed and approved before the […]

Understanding Oncology Studies Oncology is an area of medicine and clinical research that focuses on the study, treatment, prevention, and management of cancer. Within this field, oncology studies play a critical role in advancing knowledge and improving patient care. Like other therapeutic areas of research, oncology treatments undergo testing in clinical trials. Oncology studies have […]

Scientists investigate thousands of new drug ideas each year. Whilst many of these ideas are taken through to clinical stages of development, not all drugs successfully make it to market.  There are 3 main stages of clinical trials: phases 1, 2 and 3. At the end of each phase, investigators and regulatory authorities evaluate whether […]

In this series, we will be speaking with Simbec-Orion staff and asking them about their day-to-day work, what it involves and how they see their role developing in the future. In our first post, we are meeting Dr Maria Kozlak, a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) at Simbec-Orion. We’ll take a look at a day in […]

Cancer research is one of the most commonly investigated areas of clinical study. Oncology research has accelerated the development of advanced chemotherapy drugs, which are now generally less toxic as a result. Conventional chemotherapy drugs once primarily used cytotoxic compounds to target cancerous cells, which would also damage surrounding cells as a result.  Now, with […]

Clinical research is a broad area of patient care that investigates diseases, diagnostic methods and treatments, and plays a crucial role in progressing medical solutions to improve global health. This helps develop medical knowledge of how to identify, prevent, treat and manage health conditions. The importance that clinical research has on the development of medical […]
