ABSTRACT
As
we know how the current COVID-19 Pandemic situation is potentially affecting
all over the globe. Like many other fields it influencing the clinical research
areas as well. As we know the data generated from the clinical trials plays
pivotal role in drug development process. The main source of information is
investigator sites; however, due to current situation it is a strenuous task to
collect and report data from investigator sites. It has increased potential
risks over achieving primary or secondary objectives of the clinical trials.
Considering these challenges, there is need to check for the alternatives,
check for the feasibility of new technologies, new methods of data collections,
think over the mitigation plans and look for the innovations. This is now
become a new vision for many companies, institutes. This article will touch on
few points on how clinical trials and data management system are impacted due
to wake of COVID-19. We will try to throw some light on few mitigation
strategies as well.
