COVID-19 trials and how clinical research coordinators run it
COVID-19 trials and how clinical research coordinators run it is a big question to which a lot of us want answers. Clinical trials have always been a center of interest in how medical research looms forward to build that new treatments are secure and beneficial. One of the many results of the COVID-19 pandemic has been problems in enrolling and running clinical trials, which usually involve massive numbers of people interacting in multiple geographies. The clinical trials were set up in record time throughout the world, including testing, treatment, and vaccine enhancement.
And behind every clinical trial, there was an enormous team effort that is often unseen. Clinical trials in the news shed light on the PI—the research coordinator who leads it. Behind the scenes of any clinical research are a team of dedicated workers. They keep the operations parsing smoothly, including clinical trial regulatory staff, clinical study assistants and nurses, and clinical study project managers and directors.
