The history of clinical trials has amazed many. The journey of clinical trials originated from the first recorded clinical trial from biblical era where Daniel tested the effects of a diet of pulses rather than meat. History was again inked with an iconic event when a surgeon from Edinburgh Dr. James Lind (1716-94) investigated the […]
Insulin is a hormone secreted by group of cells; islets of Langerhans within an endocrine gland called Pancreas. The gland is an organ located behind the stomach and has many other functions apart from insulin production. Pancreatic gland is responsible for the production of hormones and digestive enzymes that help in digestion process and absorption […]
Clinical trials are systematic studies conducted in human subjects to determine the safety and efficacy of a new drug. The purpose of clinical trials is to find out the safer, more effective drugs or methods or therapies to screen, prevent, diagnose or treat a variety of diseases. These studies follow strict scientific standards, thus protect […]
The clinical trial process, determines whether a drug, biologic or medical device is safe and effective before approval for marketing and sale. Clinical trials require vigilant planning at every step of testing process as it is governed by regulations and guidelines to ensure safety and accuracy of biomedical data. Recent escalation in clinical research efforts has increased […]
Good Clinical Practice is intended to be a global ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, monitoring, recording, auditing, analyzing and reporting bio medical and behavioral research studies involving human participants. The history of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) statute traces back to one of the oldest lasting practices in the history of medicine: The Hippocratic Oath. As […]
Clinical research is defined largely as everything but pure bench science, that determines the safety and effectiveness of medications, devices, diagnostic products, and treatment regimens intended for human use. The overarching goal of clinical research is to promote clinical application to have an important impact on the health of the population. Recent trends suggest a rapid momentum in the […]
Anatomy is often simply defined as the science concerned with the study of the structure of biological organisms. Within all biological organisms, and indeed most mechanical devices of far less complexity than the human body, structure and function are intimately related. Thus, a more accurate definition of contemporary human anatomy would be the study of […]
FDA defines clinical trials as voluntary research studies conducted in people, that are designed to answer specific questions about the safety and/or effectiveness of drugs, vaccines, other therapies, or new ways of using existing treatments. The data generated is the most important and confidential to a clinical trial project as the fate of the drug, […]
Cloning is defined as “the technique of producing a genetically identical copy of an organism by replacing the nucleus of an unfertilized ovum with the nucleus of a body cell from the organism”. The first animal that was cloned successfully was a sheep and it was named Dolly in 1997. The cloned sheep, Dolly was […]
Clinical Research business is a growing industry in the middle east. Having explored the benefits of conducting clinical trials in developing nations such as Latin America, India and China, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies actively involved in conducting clinical research are now getting attracted towards the middle east as a destination to outsource clinical trials. This […]
