    Clinical Researcher—October 2025

    The October issue of Clinical Researcher focuses on “Empowering the People Behind the Processes,” offering up a collection of insights on how humans impact the inner workings of clinical trials and vice versa. We hear from a variety of professionals who delve into such areas as the attitudes of primary/urgent care providers toward trials; the importance of productive interrelationships between sponsors, CROs, and sites; the many, and often misunderstood, duties of institutional review boards; the changing role of clinical research associates in technology-driven environments; and more.
