Trials offers detailed coverage of trial methodology in
diverse areas of medicine in a single comprehensive volume.
Praise for the First Edition:
"... very useful as an introduction to clinical research, or
for those planning specific studies within therapeutic or disease
areas." BRITISH JOURNAL OF SURGERY, Vol. 92, No. 2,
February 2005
The book's main concept is to describe the impact of
clinical trials on the practice of medicine. It separates the
information by therapeutic area because the impact of clinical
trials, the problems encountered, and the numbers of trials in
existence vary tremendously from specialty to specialty. The
sections provide a background to the disease area and general
clinical trial methodology before concentrating on particular
problems experienced in that area. Specific examples are used
throughout to address these issues.
The Textbook of Clinical Trials, Second
Edition:
* Highlights the various ways clinical trials have influenced the
practice of medicine in many therapeutic areas
* Describes the challenges posed by those conducting clinical
trials over a range of medical specialities and allied fields
* Additional therapeutic areas are included in this Second
Edition to fill gaps in the First Edition as the number
and complexity of trials increases in this rapidly developing
area
* Newly covered or updated in the Second Edition: general
surgery, plastic surgery, aesthetic surgery, palliative care,
primary care, anaesthesia and pain, transfusion, wound healing,
maternal and perinatal health, early termination, organ
transplants, ophthalmology, epilepsy, infectious disease,
neuro-oncology, adrenal, thyroid and urological cancers, as well as
a chapter on the Cochrane network
An invaluable resource for pharmaceutical companies, the
Textbook of Clinical Trials, Second Edition appeals
to those working in contract research organizations, medical
departments and in the area of public health and health science
alike.
