Customer Reviews

Excellent source to conducting clinical studies.

Review by Robert Manasse, Ph.D., 2010-08-03

The second, updated edition of Dr. Stone's "Conducting Clinical Research" is an even more extensive coverage of the various aspects of doing a clinical study than the first edition. The book offers guidance and insights from Dr. Stone's personal and extensive experience performing various drug studies, all in an easy to read and informative style. I recommend it for those starting studies for a pharmaceutical company. It is also an excellent, in-depth text, for those teaching future physicians.

Everything you always wanted to know about clinical research but were afraid to ask

Review by Julia B. Frank, MD, 2006-10-22

This readable, lively text provides an essential road map through the slough of despond for anyone who conducts or has contemplated conducting clinical research. Pitfalls, quicksand, torrents and deserts await the unprepared traveller into such hostile country, and Dr. Stone's guidebook provides up to date, detailed and useful instructions on how to avoid them all. The author speaks with the voice of long and sometimes daunting experience, yet her tone is unceasingly encouraging, engaging and inspiring. With corporations dictating the national medical research agenda, inside and outside academic medical centers, the ground rules for a productive research career have changed. Research is now open to anyone who sees patients, and no longer requires the ability to design complex studies and interpret statistical data. Instead, it demands understanding of legal and market forces, methods for to negotiating, organizing and maintaining a team based enterprise, and a large dose of humility and good humor. All of these Dr. Stone offers, along with such critical tools as forms to be used for different types of studies, references to books and internet resources, guidelines to assure that research is conducted ethically, and information on where to get further training and help. Any health professional who has ever wanted to join the research enterprise will find something useful in this book, and those already on board will be carried forward to new heights of productivity and reward.
