Praise for Clinical Trials and Human Research
"I would recommend the book for anyone new to the Institutional Review Board process, regardless of their clinical or administrative background or responsibilities. It is a valuable resource to orient risk managers, clinicians, and administrators to the clinical trial process and pitfalls."
— Deborah Boyd, M.S., R.H.I.A., C.P.H.R.M., senior risk management consultant, Zurich North America, Atlanta, Georgia
"As more and more research programs get into trouble, there′s been a mad scramble to get on top of the problems. The logical starting point is regulatory compliance. Researchers and research administrators must understand the regulations if they hope to achieve high ethical standards in the performance of human subjects research. This thoughtful and well–organized book should be read by anyone who is interested in human subjects research, such as bioethicists, researchers, IRB and DSMB members, and study sponsors."
