A proper understanding of the key cost factors that emerge throughout the study lifecycle helps to mitigate such challenges. Factors such as patient recruitment, regulatory compliance, site management, and data collection each contribute significantly to the total expenditure. When the cost […]
Read More →Blinded monitoring is the process of reviewing trial data without knowing who is receiving the actual therapy and who is receiving the control. This maintains the review process impartial, fair, and reliable. It reassures sponsors that trial findings are robust enough to meet international regulatory standards. In Thailand, where many clinical trials are large and […]
Read More →Clinical trials for implantable medical devices are transforming cancer care by making therapies more targeted, less toxic, and, eventually, more effective. From drug-eluting stents and intratumoral drug delivery devices to implantable pumps, biodegradable implants, ablation probes, and biosensors, these advancements are transforming cancer care. They are intended to administer therapies exactly where most needed, while […]
Read More →If you’re planning a clinical trial in Japan, one of the most important (and often overlooked) aspects is how to properly ship your ancillary supplies and non-IMPs. In particular, lab kits, diagnostic devices, and other materials may be required. Therefore, navigating import requirements is not always straightforward. With strict regulations and detailed customs procedures, a […]
Read More →Early site and investigator engagement are the foundations of effective clinical trial design, ensuring that protocols are both practical and patient-focused. This helps sponsors refine eligibility criteria, diagnostic pathways, and recruitment strategies for any planned trial. This is especially required in Hormone Receptor-Positive (HR⁺)/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative (HER2⁻) metastatic breast cancer, where ever-evolving […]
