Promotion unit

The Eugène Marquis Centre oversees every stage of its clinical trials, from concept design to the publication of results. The Centre helps design the study, obtain funding and the necessary authorisation and ensure that trials are conducted correctly so as to achieve reliable, reproducible results. To help in those tasks, the Centre established the promotion unit in 2013.

Clinical trials are conducted across all departments of the Centre not only in collaboration with doctors, but also, following the example of its Scientific Steering Committee (CoPilS) [Comité de Pilotage Scientifique], with the participation of all healthcare providers, including doctors, pharmacists and paramedical staff (nurses, technicians and physicists). Clinical trials cover all care sectors, from drug therapy to innovative techniques (adaptive radiotherapy, radioembolisation, etc.), as well as support services and the implementation of innovative practices, such as outpatient care.
