By Shauna C. Lynch


When a pharmaceutical company wants to send a new medication to market they will begin with clinical data provided by contract research teams. The maintenance and design of clinical trials, data organization and assistance with submitting approvals to regulatory commissions are all services provided by these teams. There are lots of other services that contract teams can provide to their clients in the field of biotechnology and human medicine. These companies can bring in another team to help with clinical trials, development of medicines and other research and even assistance with quality control and FDA approval.

Any medicine or treatment that is intended to be prescribed for humans must undergo clinical trials. They can set up small trials or help manage large multiyear clinical trials. The contract research teams can help provide an objective point of view for companies looking for reliable data for their regulatory submissions. They can also monitor smaller trials or build and implement a full-scale clinical trial. The teams will get in touch with patients, monitor potential reactions to the drugs or treatments and gather data.

The teams also dedicate themselves to Pharmacovigilance and ensuring quality standards in all trials and applications of the new drug. When you sign on with a research team, they will take additional care to monitor patients for their potential negative reactions to any new treatment or drug. This team will also help ensure that strict standards of quality control are kept to for any clinical research and in any medicines provided to potential patients. Quality control and Pharmacovigilance are fundamental steps in the approval process.

Clinical trial management services also assist their clients with the practice of submitting new treatments and medications to regulatory commissions for approval. Skilled professionals working with these research teams can provide clients with in person advice and act as a hands-on guide through the regulatory submission process. These agency liaisons will help out on the creation of reports, data sorting and the submission of a dossier. Medical presentations, grant applications and reports for scientific journals are also ways a research team can provide assistance.

These teams work for years to build up reputations in their fields. In the process, they hire skilled researchers, physicians and business professionals. Using these teams, research companies have been able to keep up with strict quality standards to set up and run clinical trials. Clients can also expect teams to practice strict Pharmacovigilance regarding new treatments and drugs provided to volunteers. Finally, agency liaisons can help clients submit their new treatments to regulatory commissions for approval.
