Research Support – ScienHub

We promote research by offering comprehensive support in the management and implementation of clinical studies.

We provide advice, solutions and structures that accompany the investigator throughout the clinical study process, from design to execution, guaranteeing compliance with all ethical and regulatory standards and ensuring the quality and validity of the research.

Process

Design

The research team, through observation, formulates a research question and idea.

Research team
Approval

In this phase, it is necessary to prepare the documentation, select the study personnel, obtain the necessary approvals (Ethics Committee, Autonomous Communities, and regulatory agencies), and finally, sign the contracts and register the study on the corresponding platforms.

CRO - Contract Research Organization
Implementation

In this phase, all study documents are created (investigator’s file, recruitment materials, among others), and the data collection notebook is developed. Logistic and coordination tasks are carried out to implement the study. Finally, the initiation visit is conducted, during which all key points of the project are reviewed.

CRO - Contract Research Organization

CTU - Clinical Trials Unit
Development

The search and selection of participants are carried out. Study procedures are performed (obtaining informed consent, scheduling study visits, and conducting and tracking procedures). The study is monitored to ensure compliance with regulations and adherence to the research protocol. After its conclusion, the closing visit is conducted.

CTU - Clinical Trials Unit
Analysis

Data exports are carried out for analysis purposes. These are interpreted in order to address the hypotheses and objectives outlined in the protocol’s design. Finally, the results of the questions posed and the conclusions drawn are documented.

Communication

Based on the evidence found, the results are published in scientific journals and specialized conferences to enhance the knowledge of the scientific community.

Community-Based Administration of the Long-Acting Cabotegravir + Rilpivirine Combination for HIV Treatment

The HOLA study evaluates the out-of-hospital administration of long-acting cabotegravir and rilpivirine as an optional therapy for HIV patients in Spain. It analyzes the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and patient satisfaction with this community-based approach. It is the first study to administer HIV treatment in a community setting, aiming to enhance patient convenience and adherence.

ScienHub Research Support participated in the study’s design, coordination, and execution. It ensured proper training for healthcare professionals, supported patient recruitment, and monitored treatment outcomes. Its role was crucial in demonstrating the feasibility of this out-of-hospital therapy. It contributed to expanding treatment access and improving patient satisfaction in Spain.
Evaluating Monoclonal Antibody Prophylaxis for COVID-19 in Immunocompromised Patients

The SUPERNOVA study is a phase I/III, randomized, double-blind clinical trial designed to assess the safety and neutralizing activity of the monoclonal antibodies AZD5156 and AZD3152 as pre-exposure prophylaxis for COVID-19 in individuals with immune deficiencies.

ScienHub’s Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) has led key aspects of this study, including the clinical protocol design, participant selection and recruitment, and real-time clinical data monitoring. Their work has ensured compliance with regulatory standards and the implementation of strict safety measures, reinforcing their commitment to biomedical research and the protection of vulnerable populations.
ScienHub Research Support Develops the Thalassa 2.0 Trial for Long COVID

This phase II study, aimed at evaluating the efficacy of plitidepsin in patients with long COVID, included 90 participants.

ScienHub Research Support oversaw its execution, further strengthening its commitment to researching innovative treatments. Additionally, its involvement in this project highlighted its key role in advancing new therapies for this condition, reinforcing its presence in the field of medical research.
