How hard is it to change therapeutic areas? I'm a CRC with lots of experience in oncology trials but I really need a change.

I have one study that will pay for travel cost for any subejct that comes from more than 50 miles. One subject pays 43.40 per visit and the sponsor offered to reimburse the subject for the cost of travel.

Just a reminder for IRBs to double check their registration with the FDA, the deadline for compliance was last Friday. Apparently there is some confusion with IRBs thinking they are already registered.

Do you think Clinical Trial Offices at universities are a good idea? Do they make things easier for sponsors? For investigators?

Apparently misconduct in clinical trials is on the rise - DSI sent out double the number of warning letters this past fiscal year than it did in 2006.

Just read an article with some interesting stats relating to US trials over the last 3 years. 47.6% industry sponsored, 15% govt agency sponsored, 28% others. Oncology makes up 11% of industry trials and 23% of trials sponsored by others. I'm assuming others refers to investigator-initiated studies.
