A valuable new edition of the trusted, practical guide to managing data in clinical trials
Regardless of size, type, or complexity, accurate results for any clinical trial are ultimately determined by the quality of the collected data. Management of Data in Clinical Trials, Second Edition explores data management and trial organization as the keys to developing an accurate and reliable clinical trial. With a focus on the traditional aspects of data collection as well as recent advances in technology, this new edition provides a complete and accessible guide to the management structure of a clinical trial, from planning and development to design and analysis. Practical approaches that result in the collection of complete and timely data are also provided.
While maintaining a comprehensive overview of the knowledge and tools that are essential for the organization of a modern clinical trial, the author has expanded the topical coverage in the Second Edition to reflect the possible uses of recent advances in technology in the data collection process. In addition, the Second Edition discusses the impact of international regulations governing the conduct of clinical trials and provides guidelines on ensuring compliance with national requirements.
Newly featured topics include:
The growing availability of "off-the-shelf" solutions for clinical trials
Potential models for collaboration in the conduct of clinical trials between academia and the pharmaceutical industry
The increasing use of the Internet in the collection of data and management of trials
Regulatory requirements worldwide and compliance with the ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines
