Alphonse, Senior Clinical Trial Manager
“Our goal is to generate high-quality data needed to get a drug approved by regulatory authorities. Everything from the initial protocol to collecting the final data has to be conducted according to the exacting standards of Good Clinical Practice, while meeting ambitious timelines. We need to respect local guidelines in recruiting patients. And, above all, we must ensure the safety of the patients.”
