In this episode, we’re going to talk about Postmarket Surveillance Studies. In light of the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), medical device manufacturers are required to implement a Postmarket Surveillance (PMS) plan, which in turn may require them to conduct Postmarket Surveillance Studies. The importance of such studies has grown in recent years as regulators want to know about the safety and effectiveness during the lifetime of a medical device. To learn about Postmarket Surveillance Studies regulatory requirements, process for collecting clinical data for such...

In this episode, we explore the role of design in clinical trials. Most clinical research professionals are so focused on protocol design, data collection, and analysis that it’s easy to overlook the importance of well-designed technology that supports clinical trials. One such technology product is electronic Patient Reported Outcomes or ePROs. ePROs are surveys that are presented to and completed by clinical trial participants as part of the study requirements. To learn more about ePROs and the role of design in clinical trials, I invited Bruce Hellman and Ben James on the Clinical...

There are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to being a standalone clinical trial site. Standalone clinical trial sites enjoy the freedom of running their own operations. But they may face challenges with executing some parts of a clinical trial. This is where site networks come in. For example, a site can run more efficient marketing campaigns, be more systematic in its clinical trial operations, or share patient recruitment and retention resources by being part of a site network. To learn more about site networks, I invited Christian Burns, President of Elligo...
info_outlineWhen a new drug or device undergoes “first in human” experience, the primary focus is on participant safety. How will the drug or device interact with the human body? And will this interaction be safe?
To answer these two questions, regulatory authorities around the world require medical product manufacturers to conduct Phase I, also known as early phase clinical trials.
To learn more about the complexities in early phase clinical trials, I invited Dr. Oren Cohen, President of Clinical Pharmacology Services and Chief Medical Officer at Labcorp Drug Development on the show.
Dr. Cohen has more than 30 years of healthcare experience which includes his work on clinical development.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Dr. Oren Cohen.
