Clinical Trials

Applied clinical research by means of Clinical Trials is one of the main research activity areas of the hospital and of the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de Santiago de Compostela (IDIS, Health Research Institute of Santiago de Compostela). Our purpose is to systematize and speed up the conducting of Clinical Trials, and to achieve this goal we have established our own procedure for their management. IDIS offers support for the launching and the processing of all required documents to conduct all the non-commercial and commercial Clinical Trials promoted by the Pharmaceutical Industry in the Health Care Area of Santiago de Compostela and Barbanza, and the Health Care Area of Lugo, A Mariña and Monforte de Lemos.

We act as a connection between Clinical Trial Sponsors and Researchers, drafting contracts, managing different authorizations, ethical opinions, regulatory matters, and those documents which are essential for the carrying out of this kind of Trials.
