How to increase your odds of finding a job in Clinical Research?This STAR Programme will provide the capabilities you need to become a Junior Clinical Researcher. Most employers will require practical experience on the job before considering your application. At ECCRT, we realise that this situation limits the inflow of young, intelligent, and motivated people. To further develop your potential, this STAR Programme combines a series of training and practical internships during a period of one year.

Pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies and clinical researchers need to assure regulatory authorities of the reliability of the data that they generate during product development and testing – that is, to demonstrate data integrity. Practices that provide assurance of data integrity in clinical research are required by law and/or established as expectations in regulatory guidance. The data are reviewed in regulatory applications or during regulatory inspections of clinical trial sponsor and investigational sites. Inadequacies of data integrity are frequently reported by inspectors and result in regulatory actions against the organizations or individuals concerned. This course explains the requirements and describes principles and practices that should be followed by trial sponsors, investigators and other clinical research personnel to assure regulators of data integrity.

The sponsor of a clinical trial must arrange for it to be monitored throughout its duration to ensure that the rights and wellbeing of subjects are protected, the trial data are accurate, complete and verified from source documents, and the conduct of the trial complies with the study protocol, Good Clinical Practice and regulatory requirements. In this module we describe how a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) monitors an ongoing trial to its conclusion.

A clinical investigator is responsible for conducting the clinical trial in compliance with the study protocol, GCP, medical ethics, and applicable legal requirements. The clinical research community expects that investigators and clinical staff are fully trained in GCP. Duties and functions discussed in this short course include: provision of adequate resources; liaison with IRB/IEC; compliance with protocol; management of investigational product(s), informed consent and data records; and safety reporting.

The sponsor of a clinical trial needs to reach agreement with clinical investigators to conduct the trial. The suitability of investigators and their institutional sites, typically hospitals, has to be evaluated, and the trial has to be set up at each site. This module describes the processes involved, focusing particularly on the role of a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) employed or contracted by the sponsor to monitor the trial.

The purpose of GLP is to provide assurance of the quality and reliability of nonclinical study data. GLP covers the planning, performance, monitoring, recording and reporting of studies. Regulatory authorities typically require GLP rules to be followed for nonclinical studies intended to support an application for approval of clinical research or marketing of a product containing the test item. This course outlines the history of GLP and explains why it is important, identifies the penalties that may be incurred for noncompliance, and sets out requirements that need to be met. Learners are also referred to the two main sources of GLP rules: The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Principles on Good Laboratory Practice and US Regulation 21 CFR 58: Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies.

Informed consent in clinical research is an ethical and regulatory requirement. A research subject must enter a study voluntarily, be informed about risks and benefits, and understand the difference between investigation and treatment. Subjects must not be coerced into enrolment, nor must they be enticed by exaggerated claims of benefit. Before they can enrol, all potential subjects must agree, in writing, to participate. In addition to ethical and regulatory imperatives, the potential for litigation by subjects further highlights the importance of rigorous adherence to informed consent principles. In this short course we set out the principles and requirements and provide examples of practical issues confronting healthcare professionals and subjects.
