Novel Clinical Trial Design in Translational Medicine (Cambridge Advance Online)

Novel Clinical Trial Design in Translational Medicine is a University of Cambridge short course that enables participants to: • summarise the concept of translational medicine with relevant examples from clinical practice • outline the differences between classical experimental medicine methodology and novel methodology and explain how they both relate to established clinical trials • analyse the different requirements of therapies in the modern treatment era, spanning drug development, gene and cell therapies, and devices and technology • explain the impact that clinical trial methodology has on patients and how a digital and patient-centered approach influences trial methodology and design • design a clinical trial to address a given clinical scenario by adopting methods taught on the course, explaining the choices in that scenario and weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen clinical trial.
