The main objectives of the CIEC are to promote clinical research and to assist and support clinical research projects in Luxembourg. Therefore the CIEC may provide any kind of logistic support to hospitals or physicians interested in clinical trials. The CIEC is also a contact partner for the pharmaceutical industries interested in conducting clinical trials in Luxembourg.
In addition, the CIEC is aiming at developing a national clinical research network including clinicians and physicians in various medical fields in order to react in a timely manner to demands emanating from potential sponsors.
Furthermore the CIEC is an infrastructure intended to prepare and realize, partially or totally, clinical research projects based on patients or healthy volunteers, in the respect of Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) and Quality Assurance. The CIEC is therefore also an opportunity for internal and external research teams to consolidate fundamental and experimental findings by a clinical research study in healthy volunteers or patients. Thus CIEC acts at the interface between fundamental and clinical research, i.e. translational research and helps providing new scientific and medical knowledge.
Finally, the CIEC is striving to ensure respect of patient rights and patient data privacy, while offering the opportunity to access new and innovative therapeutic approaches that wouldn’t be accessible otherwise. The CIEC personnel is trained and dedicated to offer the best patient information and support all along the clinical trial process.
