Traditional vs patient-centric clinical trial design

Deltaclinical

The sponsor of a study will assign one or multiple principle investigators (PI), usually a doctor. Along with a team of nurses and other stakeholders, the PI will conduct the trial at his/her study site. However, the sponsor will remain the monitor of the trial. The next figure shows the important stakeholders in a clinical trial. Traditionally, clinical trials have never been designed with patient-centricity in mind.

Scotland Introduces First C-Peptide Type 1 Diabetes Test

XTalks

The government of Scotland has rolled out a new C-peptide test for type 1 diabetes that could help patients monitor their insulin levels with greater accuracy. The test provides information about the amount of insulin a patient has in their body, which can help determine whether they can reduce or stop taking their insulin injections. The test measures levels of C-peptide protein in the blood, which is a byproduct of insulin synthesis that is released from the pancreas along with the hormone.
