Case Study: Cmed’s Mobile Data Management Solution
Cmed Clinical Services
The trial presented to Cmed was a randomized, double blinded, placebo
and active controlled study to evaluate the cardiac safety of multiple
doses of [study drug] in health volunteers.
The pharmaceutical
company, who were into the second year of development of a potential
blockbuster compound for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukaemia
(CML), were requested by the FDA to design a trial to provide
information on the cardiac safety of different dose levels of the study
drug in healthy adult volunteers. The primary objective of the study was
specifically to find the maximum tolerated dose before QTc levels
became unsafe. All development of the compound was put on hold until the
results of this study were submitted to the FDA and approval granted
for the compound to progress into full development.
