Clinical Trials Department

The Clinical Trials Office deals with the necessary procedures to initiate clinical studies in the centers within its scope of action, both for commercial promoters and for studies promoted by our researchers, among other tasks:

  • Contract management
  • Financial monitoring and billing
  • Requests to the Health Authorities
  • Request for budgets from CROs and contracting of civil liability insurance

In general, all studies carried out in the field of biomedical research that involve human beings, their samples or their personal data must be submitted for consideration by an accredited Research Ethics Committee. The link for the CEIm of Galicia is the following: https://acis.sergas.es/cartafol/Redes-de-Comites-de-Etica-da-Investigacion?idioma=es

Likewise, to start any clinical study, the approval of the Health Area Management is necessary.
