A Practical Guide to Clinical Studies in Veterinary Oncology

Abstract

This article explains the authors' experiences about opportunities, perspectives, and considerations required to initiate clinical studies in a veterinary oncology practice. These details include the infrastructure required for appropriate study training for all staff. Negotiation of scope of work and fees for service with study sponsors is also discussed. Finally, although generally similar, the article also describes management of clinical studies in academic and private practice settings.
