Explore the fundamentals of clinical research, its history, regulatory authorities, trial phases, and types of studies, emphasizing safety, ethics, and the role of sponsors, investigators, and participants.
Explore the historical and ethical foundations of clinical research, from the Nuremberg Code and Declaration of Helsinki to the development of good clinical practice and ICH GCP guidelines.
Identify and manage essential documents for clinical research, from protocol and informed consent to regulatory binders and electronic trial master files, ensuring GCP compliance and audit readiness.
Explore the drug development journey from target identification and preclinical testing to phase 1–3 clinical trials, and NDA/IND regulatory approvals guiding market access.
Explore the drug development timeline from discovery to phase four. Understand sponsor, CRO, IRB, investigator, sub-investigator, and CRA roles, and how GCP, IND, NDA, and ICF guide trials.
Explore how clinical trial design shapes the path from phase one to phase four, outlining randomization, blinding, placebo controls, and design types like parallel, crossover, and multicenter.
The lecture explains monitoring clinical trials to protect subjects and ensure accurate, complete data through site visits, source data verification, and regulatory compliance; introduces risk-based monitoring.
Explore a comprehensive glossary of clinical research terms—from adverse drug reactions and adverse events to blinding, case report forms, GCP, IRB, and protocol concepts.
Explain sponsor responsibilities in clinical trials by outlining ethical, scientific, and administrative duties, including quality assurance, data integrity, trial management, safety reporting, and regulatory compliance.
Learn how investigator sites are selected and evaluated for capabilities, ethics, and feasibility. Discover the roles and responsibilities of the investigator and CRC in conducting compliant, patient-centered clinical trials.
A warm welcome to the Clinical SAS: Mastering Clinical Data Management and Analysis with SAS course by Uplatz.
Clinical SAS is a software suite developed by SAS Institute, a leading provider of analytics and business intelligence solutions. SAS Clinical is specifically designed to support the needs of clinical research organizations and pharmaceutical companies in managing, analysing, and reporting clinical trial data.
Some key features of Clinical SAS include:
Data Management: SAS Clinical enables users to efficiently manage and integrate clinical trial data from multiple sources, including electronic health records, case report forms, laboratory data, and patient diaries.
Statistical Analysis: The software provides a comprehensive set of statistical tools for analysing clinical trial data, including descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, survival analysis, and more.
Reporting and Visualization: SAS Clinical offers powerful reporting and visualization capabilities, allowing users to create customized reports, tables, graphs, and dashboards to communicate findings and insights effectively.
Regulatory Compliance: SAS Clinical is designed to meet regulatory requirements and standards such as FDA's 21 CFR Part 11, ensuring data integrity, security, and compliance with industry regulations.
Integration with Other Systems: SAS Clinical can be integrated with other systems and platforms commonly used in clinical research, such as electronic data capture (EDC) systems, clinical trial management systems (CTMS), and data warehouses.
SAS Clinical provides a robust and flexible platform for managing and analysing clinical trial data, helping researchers and organizations streamline the drug development process, make informed decisions, and accelerate time to market for new therapies.
