Clinical Trials Coordination
The Clinical Trials Coordination Unit (CTCU) underpins the CNIC’s clinical research, coordinating trials for medicines, medical devices, and cardiovascular studies.
The CTCU provides comprehensive support for CNIC-led trials and works closely with research partners across Spain, advancing Spanish leadership in cardiovascular clinical trials.
OUR SERVICES
The CTCU supports all aspects of clinical trial execution, including but not limited to:
- Strategic trial promotion – Identifying and advancing high-impact studies.
- Feasibility assessment – Evaluating trial viability and design.
- Regulatory and ethical guidance – Assisting with approvals from ethics committees, regulatory agencies, and liability insurance requirements.
- Contract intermediation – Facilitating agreements with participating trial centers.
- Trial registration & tracking – Guidance on international databases (eudraCT, ClinicalTrials.gov, etc.).
- Electronic data management – Support for eCRF (electronic case report form) setup, monitoring, and data entry.
- Quality control – On-site and remote data verification.
- Event validation – Coordination with endpoint adjudication committees.
- Data analysis & reporting – Database preparation, statistical analysis, blind opening, and final reporting.
