CLINICAL TRIALS
Clinical trials team
LIRIC (UVASMET) has the infrastructure, staffing, and institutional support required to conduct clinical trials with high scientific, operational, and ethical standards. The center is supported by a multidisciplinary clinical team that includes two experienced physicians who oversee medical supervision, participant evaluation, and safety monitoring. Two study coordinators and data managers ensure accurate data collection, secure storage, and regulatory compliance, safeguarding the quality and traceability of research outcomes. Clinical activities are further supported by up to four nurses who assist with patient care, protocol procedures, and ongoing follow-up, alongside a qualified dietitian who contributes nutritional assessment and counseling, particularly relevant for dietary or metabolic studies.
Additionally, LIRIC has two laboratory technicians who manage sample processing and coordinate laboratory procedures. The center is equipped with modern laboratory devices capable of handling blood and other biological samples safely and efficiently, ensuring proper preparation, storage, and analysis. Coordination with the pharmacy service enables secure storage, dispensing, and monitoring of investigational products in line with regulatory and safety requirements.
Administrative framework
LIRIC’s work is integrated within a solid administrative framework supported by the Research Institute Pere Virgili and the University Hospital. These institutions provide operational oversight, logistical support, and regulatory management. Hospital facilities dedicated to conducting clinical assays ensure appropriate space, equipment, and conditions for patient visits, clinical procedures, and sample collection.
Importantly, all research activities are reviewed and supervised by the Ethical Committee, guaranteeing strict adherence to ethical standards, participant protection, and compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines.
Together, this comprehensive infrastructure allows LIRIC (UVASMET) to conduct clinical trials with reliability, professionalism, and full regulatory and ethical compliance.
