Features and Benefits of the Einstein Clinical Trials Research Program
To advance our program mission and our compelling research goals, we promote collaborative partnering opportunities with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries.
Our objectives are results-oriented:
- To expedite the process of introducing new and improved medical products and treatments that can enhance the health, quality of life and clinical efficiency of patient care; and
- To conduct clinical trial research, based on outcomes, and provide statistically accurate and reliable evaluation of data.
Clinical Trials Program History
The Clinical Trials Research Program (CTRP) of Albert Einstein Healthcare Network is an outgrowth of a century-long commitment to clinical trials research, one that began in 1916 in an attempt to control an outbreak of infantile paralysis.
Today, research is a vital and complementary component of Einstein's three-tiered mission for providing well-rounded, quality patient care and education. In fact, 250 active clinical trials are in progress at Einstein today.
The Clinical Trials Research Program is a highly professional organization that maintains the personnel, facilities, resources and expertise necessary to ensure corporate sponsor confidence and access to a full range of services to meet the demands of a complete clinical trial research study.
We provide a single point of access to the following services:
- A multidisciplinary faculty of clinical investigators representing medical and surgical specialties
- Access to a large pool of potential research participants
- Experienced research study coordinators
- Onsite human subjects review committee
- Investigational drug services
- Biostatistical support
- Clinical research management office
Albert Einstein Healthcare Network has more than 250 physicians on staff, with an additional 700 active, affiliated physicians, many of whom are involved in academic medicine and conducting clinical research. The residency and training requirements of several specialties and subspecialties also require research training where residents learn and engage in clinical research programs.
Clinical Research Coordinators
Albert Einstein Healthcare Network has a group of dedicated, experienced nurses who specialize in conducting clinical trial research studies. The CTRP office assigns the nurses to specific protocols as needed. In addition, certain large departments, such as the Cancer Center, have their own dedicated staff of research nurses.
With approximately 32,000 inpatient admissions and 455,850 ambulatory visits throughout our network each year, Albert Einstein Healthcare Network's Clinical Trials Research Program offers outstanding research opportunities in a wide variety of clinical settings.
