Joint Effort by Leading Asian Academic
Researchers and Quintiles’ Experts
Quintiles today announced the launch of a handbook to guide
physicians in the conduct of investigator initiated clinical
trials. Top clinical researchers from academia and industry across
Asia-Pacific joined Quintiles’ experts in contributing to and
editing the handbook, which Quintiles sponsored as part of its
ongoing efforts to enhance clinical research globally and create a
healthier world.
Availability of the handbook, “Investigator Initiated Trials
Made Easy,” was announced at a press conference held at Seoul
National University Hospital in South Korea.
“Investigator initiated, patient-focused clinical trials play a
vital role in improving and expanding patient care in the real
world,” said Dr. Stephanie Tan, MBBS, Quintiles Site and Patient
Network, Asia, the handbook’s co-editor and primary coordinator.
“This innovative, collaborative effort between academia and
industry is designed to provide physicians the theoretical and
practical foundation needed to conduct their own trials.”
Joining Dr. Tan at the press conference was co-editor Prof.
Yung-Jue Bang, president of Seoul National University Hospital’s
Biomedical Research Institute and director of its Clinical Trial
Center. The third co-editor, Prof. K. Arnold Chan, director of
National Taiwan University Hospital’s Clinical Trial Center
(Taipei), was unable to attend the launch.
Prof. Bang said: “This handbook represents the consolidated
expertise of 20 authors from across the world, many of whom are
thought-leading investigators in their field. We came together
because we want to advance medicine and improve patients’ lives
through high-quality investigator initiated trials. We hope this
handbook will be a stepping stone to more investigator-led clinical
research into the treatment of diseases affecting patients in
Asia-Pacific and around the world."
At the press conference, Dr. Amar Kureishi, Quintiles Regional
Chief Medical Officer and head of Drug Development Asia, said: “It
gives us immense pleasure to see the creation of this handbook,
which provides the basic tools for physicians to pursue scientific
enquiry in their own institutions and in their own practices for
the benefit of patients everywhere.”
