Research

The Research wing of the hospital is actively involved in many Multicentric International studies.

Phase 2 ,3 and 4 clinical trials are being conducted in the field of Diabetology . Multinational Research projects are being handled by us for the last 12-14 years. We have done projects for Novo Nordisk, Elli Lilly, Astra Zenica, GSK, Quintiles, PPD, Torrent Pharmaceuticals, USV Limited, India, Bayer, India, Servier, and Biocon etc,. A complete list of Research projects done by the Hospital is attached down below. Our Research Unit comprises of qualified doctors & Research Associates. All the equipment’s needed for conducting clinical trials as per GCP guidelines are available. Hospital has its own IRB which meets once in 30 days to review the current research projects & to approve new projects. Constitution of the IRB is as per GCP guidelines. Our IRB (Institutional Review Board) is recognized by DCGI (Drug controller, Govt. of India). Hospital takes up training of research associates free of cost.

Specializations

We are proud to say that Hospital has done research in all forms of Insulin ( Injectables, Nasal Spray, Inhaled Insulin & Oral ) . We are also evaluating Glucose estimation by non invasive techniques for several companies. Most of the Multicentric international Cardiovascular Out come trials (CVOT’s) as per regulatory agencies requirement are being conducted here.

Participation in Clinical Trials is purely voluntary and patients are encouraged to discuss in detail about participation in research activities of the Hospital. Science progress through research & voluntary patient participation is solicited.
