"Conducting Clinical Trials A-Z"

Purpose

The Conducting Clinical Trials A-Z manual is intended to provide practical information and resources for investigators and study sites involved in clinical trials at the University of Kentucky.  Part I provides background, supporting policy, resources and references for further reading.  Part II of the manual outlines the life of a clinical trial with specific “how-to” information, links, resources, checklists, and tools.  Throughout the manual, there are links to relevant Web sites, forms, resources and individuals who can help you with the clinical trial process.  

We hope that the Handbook will be especially useful for new or “intermittent” clinical trial researchers.  In addition to this reference, the UK Clinical Research Organization is available as a resource or to provide study initiation, regulatory, fiscal, and/or operations services. 

As clinical research is ever evolving, we expect that this manual will be a work in continuous progress and welcome your input.
