In Advarra’s inaugural virtual symposium, industry and academic experts discussed overcoming obstacles and optimizing study startup in gene therapy research. They respond to more popular Q&A topics here.
Recent years have seen increased efforts to engage with patient and participant communities and include them more closely in research. This approach is reflected in the founding of the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) as well as statements from the US Institute of Medicine and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the importance of including participant perspectives at every stage of the research process—from the design of studies through their implementation and the dissemination of research results.
The global pandemic has changed the way we think about research. Sponsors should consider how the “new normal” will impact sites and current studies as they plan to re-start research.
The current global pandemic has brought biosafety to the spotlight. Biosafety practices must be customized to the proposed research as well as the existing facility and local regulatory requirements.
Complex trial designs can eliminate less-promising investigational treatments quickly to speed development, but they remain under-utilized. The current pandemic offers a chance to consider strategies for facilitating adoption of such innovative designs.
On Clinical Trials Day, now more than ever, it’s important to recognize and thank those unsung heroes at the focal point of research: research sites and institutions.
Gene therapy research continues its rapid expansion in the clinical setting, especially in infectious disease, rare disease, and oncology. To support discussion of emerging genetic research issues, Advarra presents its first virtual symposium.
As clinical trials increase in complexity, you gain more value from using each resource at your disposal wisely. Many organizations
Experts from Advarra and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine provided practical guidance on the COVID-19 research impact in a recent webinar. We’ve addressed the most popular Q&A topics here.
Now more than ever, people are seeking out employment at organizations that offer more than just standard benefits. They are
What is the difference between “public” and “private” internet spaces? This question has gained importance with the growing practice of using internet and social media platforms as a source of research data.
Currently the most prominent coronavirus vaccine candidates contain engineered genetic material. Sites wishing to participate in this research should be prepared for the additional requirements of research involving genetic engineering.
