In March, 2010, HRA Research surveyed 119
oncologists about their participation in clinical trials. A large
majority of them (86%) said that had, in fact, participated in
trials.
Of those that had not participated in trials, the leading
reason for not doing so was “too much bureaucracy”. However, those who did
participate were overwhelmingly satisfied with their experience.
How satisfied are you overall with your
participation in the most recent clinical trial you participated in?
Few of the doctors found it difficult to accomplish their
tasks in a clinical trial. Tasks that doctors are called upon to perform
include [primarily] recruiting patients, ensuring patient compliance, and
recording and reporting data. Few doctors were asked to review ICH guidelines
for clinical research, and almost none had to actually advertise the study.
Of those who have participated in clinical trials,
one-quarter have sponsored their own studies as investigators, and they are
nearly as satisfied with this experience as with regular clinical trials.
How satisfied overall were with your experience leading an
investigator-sponsored study?
