Abstract
Objective : To explore the establishment and roles of study nurses in IBD drug clinical trials. Methods : The management experience of this department’s study nurses in IBD drug clinical trials was retrospectively analyzed. Results : The study nurses played very important roles at all links during the preliminary preparation of IBD drug clinical trials, the whole-process management after project initiation, and the later work of project conclusion. Conclusions : As direct participants in drug clinical trials, study nurses play a very important role in ensuring standardization of the trial process, safeguarding patient’s rights and safety, and assisting investigators in carrying out study works smoothly.
