Clinical Research

clinical research in Indore

The Clinical Research Department (CHL-CRD) of CARE CHL Hospitals was constituted in the year 2006, as envisioned by Professor Dr S. R. Jain, under the able leadership of the top management of the institute. The mission of CARE CHL-CRD is to undertake and promote excellence in clinical research, and to foster as well as support patient care and treatment. At CARE CHL-CRD, pharma-sponsored research projects provide the foundation for research activities. These projects are complemented by organisational projects, community-based intervention programs, population-based epidemiology studies, multi-centre controlled clinical trials, and research training programs. Some of the objectives our research team incorporates in the process are as follows, 

• Review sponsored (pharma-sponsored, govt-sponsored etc.) research proposals for feasibility and conduct at the Institute
• Assist Investigators and provide complete support for the initiation and progress of scientific and clinical research projects
• We also coordinate the functioning of committees for analytical presentation and the maintenance of ethics in CARE CHL.

The phases in clinical trials are governed by strict protocols and overseen by many regulatory bodies, from the Drug Controller General of India to Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC). IECs are a group comprising independent medical experts, basic medical scientists, pharmacologists, legal experts, ethicists / philosophers / social workers / theologians, as well as laypeople. Researchers periodically report to the IEC regarding the study's entire conduct, including the tests involved in the study, the results recorded and even the side effects reported.
