Abstract

Clinical trials are highly regulated multi-dimensional projects that require constant interactions between the regulators and the sponsors, investigators, other personnel, and even patients involved in the conduct of a given trial. There are many diverse tasks involved in the conduct of a clinical trial starting from the development of a clinical trial protocol, finding and starting clinical trial sites, filing of an IND or IDE application, approvals from IRBs, numerous documents need to be collected to demonstrate compliance with regulations; managing supplies, collecting data, writing reports, and many other things. Clinical project managers need to understand, implement, and trouble-shoot practically all aspects of the clinical trial under them. Clinical project managers have to build teams and have clear perspective of what may be needed for assuring compliance with FDA requirements of a given clinical trial at all times. This one-of-a-kind program will train you in regulatory affairs, clinical operations, monitoring, patient recruitment and retention, planning, medical writing, safety monitoring and practically all major aspects of running a clinical trial.
