1. Clinical Trial Center at China Medical University Hospital has been in collaboration with 294 international, domestic pharmaceutical and biotech companies as well as national research institutes including top 25 companies in the world with a wide scope of therapeutic trials including those applying stem cells for treating stroke, acute myocardial infarction, selected types of cancers and others.

2. Clinical Trial Center at China Medical University Hospital is the very first clinical center in Taiwan to have an academic CRO (ARO) and in-house SMO to substantially reduce the costs charged by commercial CROs and SMO and greatly improve trial operation.

3. Clinical Trial Center at China Medical University Hospital has established a team to execute big health data analytics in generating real world evidence since 2010 with more than 1,400 papers published to date including those in topnotch journals such as JAMA, Lancet and others.

Site Introduction

Funded by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2010, this center has been holding the principle with the priorities placed on the sponsors and PIs to provide single-window, streamlining full services with high-efficiency safest execution of clinical trials at significantly lower costs than the traditional clinical trial centers with the priority set to assist sponsors and PIs to advance their intellectual properties onto the market in a timely manner.

The Center is built upon 5 sections as detailed below:

  1. Administrative and Budgetary Management:This Section is responsible for contract signing and the following management roles: budgetary control, equipment oversight, personnel, sample processing and storage as well as website maintenance.
  2. In-house SMO: This team with special training in conducting clinical trial procedures under the supervisions of sponsors and PIs also undertake the tasks in processing IRB review, tracking of trial processes, adherence to trial protocols, acceleration of enrollment rates and assurance of the safety of trial subjects.
  3. Academic CRO (ARO):ARO is the first in Taiwan established by our center which carries all duties conducted by commercial CRO. Its responsibilities include review submission of new trials, follow and management of trial progression, conduction of trial monitoring, trial audit including trial data management and statistical analysis of trial results as well as preparation of final trial reports. With this ARO, the trial efficiency has been substantially improved with much lower costs than those charged by commercial CROs.
  4. Quality Assurance and Personnel Training and Education: Manage and monitoring SOPs with periodic internal auditing as well as conducting training courses.　This section is also responsible for sponsoring national and international conferences relevant to trials and cultivation of clinical trial personnel in different disciplines.
  5. Big Health Data Analytics:A team of 6 full-time biostatistician has been assembled since 2010 for big health data analytics with establishment of real world evidence as one of the primary objective. This team has assisted in publishing more than 1,400 papers with 312 highly relevant to the beneficial or adverse actions of selected drugs and medical devices that have not been included in package insert. This team has also been responsible for the management and quality maintenance of Taiwan Stroke Registry.

Clinicl Trial Expertise

This center has had broad collaboration with a large number of international and domestic pharmaceutical and biotech companies as well as research institutions in other countries such as NIH in the US to carry out a large number of clinical trials covering the whole spectrum of diseases and healthcare issues.
