Just as airplanes have air traffic control headquarters, researchers at Sunnybrook Research Institute and partnering institutions have the Centre for Clinical Trial Support to get their clinical research projects off the ground, through to study completion and dissemination and presentation of results.
“We’re here to support our Sunnybrook investigators in their leadership of clinical trials,” says Gail Klein, operations director for the CCTS. “We’re their right-hand people; providing internal supports and a full-service package to make things easier for them, while also acting as a partner to the partners – that is, other trial sites worldwide.”
Sunnybrook has a strong history of leading clinical trials locally, nationally, and globally. CCTS has expertise in the management and coordination of single-centre, multicentre, national and international clinical trials and research projects across any therapeutic area at Sunnybrook.
“This is an incredibly exciting time to be part of the clinical trials team at Sunnybrook,” says Dr. Paul Karanicolas, medical and scientific director for the CCTS. “Across our institution, there is a renewed and growing focus on innovation leading us to the forefront of inventing the future of healthcare. Our work is not only advancing medical science—it’s directly impacting patient lives in meaningful ways.”
