CLINICAL TRIALS UNIT

 
Clinical trials allow patients to receive new drugs and treatments that they would otherwise be unable to obtain, always ensuring patient safety and the most rigorous ethical safeguards.
The goal is to integrate clinical investigation into daily clinical practice and speed up access to novel drugs for our patients.
We have actively participated in numerous clinical trials, many of which have resulted in the approval of new, more effective treatments for cancer.
 
 
 
CONSULT OUR CLINICAL TRIALS
Our Clinical Trials Unit has a dedicated team of Coordinators, state-of-the-art facilities and a highly qualified team of professionals, offering patients the chance to receive novel treatments by entering into a clinical trial. The Unit works closely with all hospital services necessary to ensure our patients receive the best possible care.

ETHICAL COMITTEE
The Clinical Research Ethical Committee (CREC) at the Quirón Dexeus University Hospital is accredited by the Ministry of Health and meets on a monthly basis. Its task is to analyze and assess all proposals from the various Clinical Departments relating to programs of research, development and study of new drugs in patients, so as to ensure an ethical framework which protects patient rights.

The Committee regularly evaluates clinical trials and research projects in different specialist medical fields. Every one of our clinical research programs has been evaluated and approved by the Committee.
