A Guide to Clinical Drug Research

<em>A Guide to Clinical Drug Research</em> provides practical advice, from the conception of an idea, planning a study and writing a protocol, through to the conduct of a study, data collection and analysis, and publication. It tells investigators what information they should expect sponsoring companies to provide, particularly when there is only limited information available about a new drug. It also explains what the company can expect of investigators, including the requirements of `good clinical practice'. Unlike other currently available texts on clinical trials and pharmaceutical medicine, <em>A</em> <em>Guide to Clinical Drug Research</em> concentrates on the needs of the practising clinician and research team. It is not restricted to drug investigation, and is relevant to all those involved in clinical research in a variety of settings.
<em>Audience</em>: Required reading for clinical researchers and others involved as investigators in a drug project, often sponsored by a pharmaceutical company, plus agents of the sponsoring companies themselves.
