Clinical trials provide a pathway to the discovery of novel approaches to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases in veterinary medicine. Participating in these efforts can be very rewarding for clinicians. However, there are many organizational factors to take into consideration when adding clinical trials into the clinic workflow. The goal of this panel discussion is to provide guidance on navigating the challenges associated with initiating and maintaining a successful clinical trials program in both private practice and academia settings. The panelists will share their experiences in clinical research, including the key components needed to plan and support clinical trials in order to help these trials achieve scientific, clinical and regulatory objectives.
