New product
development requires a broad collaboration among science and
technology professionals who keep current in the medical and
regulatory arena. The potential opportunities in the field
of clinical trials management range from the principal role
of investigator to the supportive tasks surrounding regulatory
compliance, scientific writing, marketing, and retrieval of
accurate and reliable data for submission to regulatory agencies.
The research team collaborates across several business units,
starting with the sponsor of the investigative new product,
to the clinical site that collects ongoing data from subjects
receiving the product, to the sponsor or designee who monitors
the quality of the data being collected.
Professionals conducting clinical trials primarily come from
health-care backgrounds.
Clinical
trials professionals are employed in a variety of settings:
- Pharmaceutical
companies
- Biotechnology
organizations
- Medical
device companies
- Contract
research organizations
- Hospitals
- Educational
institutions
- Independent
contractors
