Medical Monitoring

Expertise That Sets Us Apart: Physician-Level Oversight Makes a Difference.

Medical monitors bring a physician’s perspective to the clinical research associate (CRAs) who are responsible for protocol compliance and accurate AE reporting at trial sites. They use their medical expertise to:

Directing Protocol development

Medical monitors recommend developing protocols that emphasize patient safety, aligning with current NIH guidelines and best practices as detailed in the NIH Guidance document, "Clinical Trial Design Consideration for Safety," to ensure compliance and optimal patient.

Unblinding in Clinical Research

In rare cases of severe adverse events, medical monitors determine if unblinding is necessary for effective intervention. This process follows the European Medicines Agency's ICH Guideline E6 on Good Clinical Practice and relevant EMA Guidance to ensure patient safety.

Moving Beyond Oversight

C-Trial’s Medical Monitor liaises between sponsors and trial sites, ensuring accurate coding and reporting of adverse events (AEs) per ICH-GCP guidelines. Like CRAs, their oversight is crucial for maintaining data accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Evaluation of safety concerns

Throughout the trial, they assess and address any patient safety concerns, referencing FDA Guidance for investigators in conducting clinical trials. This ensures prompt resolution and compliance with regulatory standards, safeguarding participant well-being and data integrity.

The Importance of C-Trials Global’s Versatile Medical Monitor in Clinical Research

In today’s clinical research landscape, medical monitors play a critical role in ensuring the success of trials. Their duties are diverse and include: Evaluating and Designing Protocols:
