Customer Reviews

Useful for a newcomer to the clinical trial environment

As a clinical trials computer programmer, I'm not the primary target audience for this book. However, as an experienced programming consultant who was new to clinical studies in the pharmaceutical industry, I found it gave me a useful overview of the typical deliverables that my efforts supported. Acronyms that are frequently used in the clinical environment, such as IB (Investigator's Brochure) and ISS (Integrated Safety Study) are given some definition and examples are shown. I found this information valuable in enabling me to feel comfortable with these concepts when they were discussed in meetings with statisticians and project managers.
