We commemorate International Clinical Trials Day
Today, May 20th, we commemorate a historic milestone in medicine: the first clinical trial conducted by Scottish doctor James Lind in 1747. This pioneering trial, which identified a lack of vitamin C as the cause of scurvy among sailors in the British Navy, laid the foundation for modern clinical research.
In the past six decades, clinical research has transformed our health and well-being and has contributed to achieving goals such as:
- Life expectancy in Europe has increased by almost 10 years.
- The mortality rate from HIV/AIDS has decreased by over 80% since the 1980s.
- The cancer mortality rate is 20% lower since the 1990s.
In every clinical trial, the true heroes are the patients. Their active participation is key to the development of new therapies and treatments.
At ScienHub Research Support, we are committed to advancing research by providing comprehensive support in the management and implementation of clinical studies. From our CRO, we handle the management of clinical trials in all phases, including bureaucratic procedures, monitoring, and data management. From the CTU, we implement clinical trials strictly adhering to current regulations. We ensure the rights, safety, and well-being of the participants, as well as the quality of the data obtained.
