Conducting clinical trials in the developing world also enables drug companies to keep costs lower for the trials and therefore renders the final product more affordable. This is an outcome which benefits all individuals in the long run.
Demand for drugs that will treat increasingly common global problems such as diabetes is expanding, and proponents of these trials further add that it is necessary and beneficial that the populations they are tested upon are diverse. This enables researchers to gain a more broad-based sense of the extent to which drugs may affect different populations. Opponents would counter that the diverse range of factors that can affect the results of global trials (such as the effects of poverty) is a detriment to the scientific purity of the results. Furthermore, many individuals in the developing world are attractive to researchers because they do not take additional medications. They can thus provide more….

During Phase III, the drug or treatment is administered under expanded, controlled and uncontrolled conditions in trials of 1,000-3,000 or more persons. They are conducted only "after preliminary evidence suggesting effectiveness of the drug has been obtained" (Understanding clinical trials, 2006, NIH). These studies conduct cost or risk-benefit analysis of taking the drug and compare the benefits of the drug or treatment to existing options (Understanding clinical trials, 2006, NIH). A drug may be effective, but its side effects may be far more severe than current treatments, and if it provides no additional benefit than existing treatments, the drug may not be approved. Information is also collected to determine when the drug is safe to use, and under what conditions. For example, certain drugs such as MAOIs cannot be taken with other drugs or eaten with certain foods without causing severe health problems; some sedating medications should not be taken….

Clinical Trial Outsourcing
Contract Issues in the Outsourcing of Clinical Trials

The increasingly common practice of outsourcing clinical trials for pharmaceutical research and development is fraught with legal and ethical complications, especially as much of the outsourcing finds these clinical trials taking place in underdeveloped countries that lack infrastructure and appropriate civil and social oversight. In a scenario such as the one described, where an unequal partnership shares certain rights to the intellectual property and the physical substance that will be undergoing the clinical trial, new wrinkles in the responsibilities of parties and the necessities of established contracts arise. Looking to current research in the area can help determine the services and contract constraints that will be required to create an ethical and effective clinical trial that serves the immediate research and development needs of the pharmaceutical partnership hiring a central African company to conduct clinical trials.

The services that will be necessary….

Clinical Trial of Tailored Activity and Eating Newsletter With Older ural Women
Does the report describe an explicit theoretical or conceptual framework for the study? If not, does the absence of a framework detract from the usefulness or significance of the research?

The study uses the Health Promotion Model (HPM) as the primary theoretical model for the study. The study provided the model for the intervention that was used as the dependent variable in this study. The Health Promotion Model is based on the social cognitive theory of Bandura (1986). Bandura's model addresses four areas of cognition that must be in alignment for the change to a place. These are the perceived benefits of the change, perceived barriers to the change, a person's belief in their ability to change, and interpersonal influences that will affect the change. The researcher explicitly explained the theoretical framework of the study to their audience.

Does the report….

Clinical Trials: egulatory Considerations and International Harmonization
Clinical trials are experiments that are carried out in clinical research. They are designed to provide knowledge on detection, prevention, and treatment of diseases as well as other biomedical interventions and new treatment discoveries. One important aspect of clinical trials is the generation of data on safety and efficacy, which require that sponsors get the approval of regulatory bodies and ethnic committees in every country they operate in. However, sometimes, language and culture dissimilarities present challenges that inhibit their effectiveness in foreign territories. This text takes a look at bridging studies and harmonization technologies which are used to reduce the adverse effects that may be brought about by globalization.

Discussion 1: Bridging Studies

Do you think that bridging studies should be required for the development of drugs that companies plan to market in other cultures?

Drug manufacturers today rely on the globalization of pharmaceutical products for their….

Clinical Trial Management Systems
Though all four systems of Clinical Data Management (CDM) seem to possess identical functionality, it appears that Perceptive Informatics is more useful, as it requires complex IT infrastructure for its functioning. CDM represents a crucial clinical research phase that generates superior, statistically sound, and reliable information from the clinical trial phase. This aids in drastically reducing the timespan between drug development and marketing stages. Clinical trial intends to answer research questions through data generation, to disprove or prove a hypothesis. Generated data's quality is a crucial contributor to the study's outcome. CDM denotes subject data collection, management, and cleaning, according to regulatory standards. CDM processes' basic aim is providing superior quality data, through minimization of missing data and errors to the maximum possible extent, and gathering maximum possible information for analysis. Maintenance of audit trials of CDM activities is extremely important in case of regulatory submission research.….

Clinical esearch Process
Advances in esearch

The Common Fund programs of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) include the POMIS (Patient-eported Outcomes Measurement Information System) initiative (NIH, 2013). The POMIS initiative seeks to exploit the creative potential of researchers and clinicians, for the purpose of developing new methods for reporting patient outcomes; however, in contrast to more quantitative measures, such as laboratory tests and radiological findings, the POMIS initiative is focused on outcomes from the perspective of patients. These outcomes can include patient reports of changes in pain levels, activities of daily living, cognitive performance, social connectedness, and psychological health. These outcome measures will be used to inform researchers and clinicians about an intervention's effectiveness, from a relevant and potentially more meaningful perspective.

Passage of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provided funds for the creation of the Patient-Centered Outcomes esearch Institute (PCOI), a non-profit institute dedicated to improving the quality….

Oversight of Clinical Trials
What are the obstacles involved with instituting institutional oversight in developing countries?

The biggest challenges with instituting institutional oversight in developing countries are: culture and the lack of regulations / enforcement. In the case of culture, many countries will have different ethical attitudes about various clinical trials. This is because most businesses do not have to meet as stringent guidelines and subjects are not provided with full disclosure. These issues are problematic, as many nations may have existing regulations in place. Yet, there is a lack of will to address these causes, based upon the traditions embraced by the medical community. ("ICH Guidance," 1997) ("The Nuremberg Code," 2000)

The lack of regulations and enforcement; is from many developing nations not conducting clinical trials. In these kinds of situations, medical research is something that is relatively new. This means that there is a lack of resources, regulations and enforcement of….

Technology Aid in the Process of Clinical Trials
Capstone Project title: Using technology in managing data in clinical trials

We will start our paper by discussing "Clinical Data Management" or CDM, which is an important phase in clinical research. It is a process through which reliable, high-quality and statistically accurate data is generated from clinical trials. This drastically reduces the time taken by the process, from when drugs are developed to the time they are marketed. The CDM team members play an active role throughout the process, from the beginning to the end. They are required to have sufficient knowledge about the maintenance of CDM processes quality standards. There are several procedures in the process such as Case eport Form (CF) and its annotation, data entry, designing a database, validation of data, management of discrepancies, medical coding, extraction of data and data locking. During a trial, these procedures are assessed regularly….

Acidic Fluid on Enzymatic Activity
The aim of the experiment is to investigate the effect of an acidic fluid on enzymatic activity.

Enzymes are the class of molecules referred as proteins having one or more chains of amino acids, which are joined together by peptide bonds. The role of an enzyme is to speed up or catalyze the chemical reactions as well as reducing the amount of energy that an enzyme needs to enhance a chemical reaction. (Al-Hakimi, 2008). In other words, enzymes are the protein molecules found in living cell used to speed up a reaction in the cell. Catalyze is an example of an enzyme found on liver and potato. However, the level of enzyme activity is affected by factors such as PH, temperature and salinity. (El-Beltagin, Mohamed, Mekki, et al. 2011). For example, PH has the ability to affect the state of ionization of basic or acidic of….

Globalized Clinical Trials
As a part of a research team within a research consortium that is preparing to conduct a large-scale trial in multiple locations around the world, it is important to fully understand the advantages and challenges that are involved in managing globalized clinical trials. To this end, this paper reviews the relevant literature concerning these issues, followed by a summary of the research and important findings concerning the advantages and challenges that are associated with globalized clinical trials in the conclusion.

The Advantages of Globalized Clinical Trials

The trends are clear and there has been a steady increase in the use of globalized clinical trials by the biopharmaceutical industry in recent years, especially in several developing regions of the world including Latin American, Asia, and Central Eastern Europe, where medical care has languished despite efforts by national and international authorities to deliver modern healthcare services (Glancszpigel & acaro, 2007). As….

Technology in Managing Data in Clinical Trials
Even a casual observer will undoubtedly make note of the range of high-tech solutions that are causing disruptive change in the process of clinical trials. From webinars and multi-day meetings to an expanding pool of literature, technology has been establishing itself as the key to an era fixated on measurable improvements like accelerating the research start-up phase, restructuring clinical trial information transmission, and overhauling research monitoring. And the issue is no longer a distinct solution to apparently intractable glitches; instead, it revolves around sharing real-time information captured by these solutions for facilitating strategic decision-making by collaborators, with regard to a research's status as it is actually progressing. This constitutes a drastic change from the conventional paper-based techniques that underlie the industry's costly and time-consuming methods of carrying out international clinical research, in which data quality assessment depended on near-database locking or onsite monitoring,….

regulatory requirements involved will be covered. The report will also include an answer to the question of what three of the file documentation requirements are before a study can be begin at a given site. While the rules and regulations regarding clinical trials may seem arduous and aggravating, they exist for a very good reason.
As explained by the class PowerPoint, the role of the Investigator's Brochure is to offer a compilation of all clinical and non-clinical information that is relevant to a study. It also serves as a reminder and review of the protocol that must be followed. That protocol includes the rationale for the study as well as the compliance that must be part of the study. For the sponsor in particular, the Investigator's Brochure serves several specific needs. These needs include all information known an investigational drug, whether serious or adverse events are "expected" or "unexpected" during….

outsourcing clinical trials that individuals and organizations looking to do so need to consider. Many of these different facets pertain to the contracts provided for this particular process. The principle services that one will need to procure, of course, are those of the research company that will be utilized to outsource the clinical trials. In the situation presented in this assignment, there are two individuals, one of which has the patent for a potential Alzheimer's compound and another that has the research skills. The first thing that this fledgling company needs to do is outline exactly what will be tested and how it will be done. This information itself must go into the contract that the party that is going to actually conduct the clinical trials needs to see. It is pertinent for the pharmaceutical company to be very specific about what sorts of these things it is testing….

Depression is less prevalent in communities that naturally consume significant amounts of omega 3 fatty acids in their diets.  Omega 3 fatty acids naturally occur in fish, which has led to the belief that fish oils may help prevent or treat depression and other mood disorders.  Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are believed to help with mood disorders, though the method of interaction is not fully understood.  The theory is that they are anti-inflammatory, and they interact with mood molecules.  Clinical trials examining omega-3 therapy as a stand alone and as an add-on therapy support its use to....
