ECTS Training Course: Clinical Trials

Saturday 26 June, 09:30-17:30

Course Overview

Information from well-conducted clinical trials underpins clinical decision making in routine practice and all new drugs are required to be evaluated in clinical trials before marketing authorisation can be granted.  The aim of this course is to provide delegates with an introduction to the design, management, analysis and reporting of clinical trials, as well as, an update on the current legislative framework for conducting clinical trials within Europe.

The course is relevant for physicians, basic scientists and allied health professionals who want to improve their understanding about the practical aspects of the design, conduct and analysis of clinical trials, as well as, an introduction to the regulatory hurdles that need to be negotiated.
