Clinical Trials Conduct Unit (CTCU)

Under the responsibility of the research physician, the clinical research nurses and clinical study coordinators organise and coordinate the different aspects of the clinical studies. They are the point of contact for patients participating in clinical trials and also for all our research partners. They provide personalised support for the patient and are the primary contact throughout treatment.

Explanation of roles:

• The principal researcher is a doctor who manages the execution of the clinical trial on our site. He undertakes to conduct the research in accordance with good clinical practice and in line with the protocol. He appoints his collaborators and determines their role in the study.
• The co-researchers are doctors who include and inform the patients in the trials. They prescribe their treatment, are responsible for monitoring patients, in accordance with the protocol, and for the collection of data.
• The research nurses and clinical study coordinators assist the researchers throughout the trial. Their role is to inform patients, manage appointment planning, administer the treatment (especially in Phase 1), gather information, manage communication between the different parties involved in the study and to implement the technical requirements of the protocol. They are the point of contact for the patient, researchers and those promoting the study.
• The data managers are the encoders who assist the study coordinators and provide information relating to the clinical trials to the promoter of the study (a pharmaceutical firm or academic centre).
• The administrative & start-up coordinator is an administrative assistant who assists the researcher in setting up all new research projects at the Institut Bordet.
• The quality manager implements and manages standardised operating procedures to facilitate the execution of quality clinical trials, in accordance with the rules of good clinical practice. She designs and implements methods and tools available to the CTCU for the maintenance and development of quality.
