As a preamble to our information activity in 2020, at the end of this year, we have started a series of articles in Viata Medicala magazine, dedicated to physicians, especially those who have not yet come in contact with clinical trials. The first of these articles appeared in the 2019 last issue of the magazine, no. 52, on page 14 and was written by Dr Cristina Florescu Moraid, Avantyo CEO.
We consider that both medical corps and the general public must be informed about the important topic of clinical trials, which brings an additional chance to any patient but especially to the Romanian patient, to benefit from an innovative treatment, sometimes the only hope left for them to survive and/or improve their quality of life in the conditions of struggle with the disease.
Main topics will cover: what are clinical trials, who are the actors participating in a clinical trial, the stages of drug development, the history of clinical trials, the legislation regarding the approval of the development of these medical research projects in our country, the decision-makers involved, the types of clinical trials, the difference between commercial and non-commercial clinical trials, data on their development in countries in Central and Eastern Europe versus Western Europe and the USA, and others information of public interest.
We invite you to browse our article every two weeks! Meanwhile, please find our first article to this link!
By then, we wish you a Happy and Prosperous 2020!
