Local Medical Monitoring

Local medical monitoring involves the oversight of trial activities at individual study sites. It ensures that the study is conducted safely, adheres to the study protocol, and complies with regulatory and ethical standards. Local medical monitors, who are often healthcare professionals, work closely with site personnel to address medical and safety issues, make real-time decisions concerning patient well-being, and help maintain data quality and integrity throughout the trial. This on-site, site-specific monitoring is essential for patient safety and the overall success of the clinical trial.
