A New Clinical Trial Platform

BayBiotech.NET
The Medpedia Project has established a platform ‘Medpedia Clinical Trials’ for patients, researchers and physicians to receive information about the thousands of clinical trials that are in process or about to begin worldwide. The information on various clinical trials is updated regularly from ClinicalTrials.gov and can be searched using different attributes with basic and advanced search functionalities.

Medpedia Clinical Trials platform allows visitors to leave their comments, thoughts and views on a specific clinical trial page. Most importantly, a personalized feed can also be obtained if someone is interested in learning more about on-going or about to start clinical trials on a particular condition worldwide.

Moreover, if you are reading a Medpedia article on a particular clinical condition, the information on the related clinical trials are fed automatically alongside the article page. To learn more about it visit http://www.medpedia.com/clinical-trials.

Report mainly focused on Preamendment class III devices. Although most high-risk class III medical devices are subject to the demanding premarket approval (“PMA”) process, preamendment class III devices may be cleared through the 510(k) pathway until FDA issues regulations requiring a PMA.
