25.01.2022 CSCRI recently conducted a survey asking about community interest in clinical trials. The results were enlightening. Approximately 50% of respondents were interested in understanding more about the drug development process. There was also interest in clinical trials relating to vision loss. At present, we are primarly focused on clinical trials relating to gastroenterological conditions, however as we continue to expand, so too will our ability to deliver trials in other therapeutic areas.
