The Clinical Trials Section operates an Oncology Research Section where dozens of clinical studies take place at any given time with excellent infrastructure, equipment and specially trained personnel.
Patients who participate in clinical trials may benefit from access to new and improved treatments, while at the same time directly contribute to research that can lead to improved results for other people with malignancies.
The research section has contributed and continues to contribute to a large number of international multi-centre clinical trials in all areas of oncology. In these included studies from the pharmaceutical industry and working groups, as well as investigations on the initiative of researchers. In the section are evolving studies phase I, II, III, and IV (recording) as well as translational research.
The type of the available clinical trials regarding the whole spectrum of medical oncology and primarily tumors of the head and neck, lung, breast, upper and lower gastrointestinal, and urogenital system. These involve hundreds of patients of the oncology section of the clinic and any patient meets the criteria for inclusion in any of these and has been referred from an outside doctor.
The section cooperates with the departments of radiation oncology, ENT, surgery, interventional radiology, etc. so in our hospital and elsewhere.
The department of employed researchers, oncologists, nurses, coordinators, research, biologists and technologists.
In Diabetology Centre of the university hospital ATTIKON monitored thousands of patients a year, with diseases from across the spectrum of Metabolism.
For the achievement of the research project in Diabetology Center used the laboratory of Molecular Biology, the Section of Clinical Trials, which are based on the Research Section of the Β'ΠΠΚ.
In this space:
(a) Carried out experimental translational or clinical studies, with the use of effective and modern equipment and guarding against the required standards so the files of the studies, and the biological materials to be processed.
(b) shall be Kept securely and strictly controlled access to all records of multi-centre clinical studies.
(c) shall be Carried out monitorings and audits in the context of clinical studies.
(d) the processing of clinical samples, and basic research is carried out, in cooperation with qualified Biologists and Technologists.
