Acting as a national centre coordinating clinical research activities involving clinicians in various medical fields, CIEC is a contact partner for pharmaceutical industries interested in conducting clinical trials in Luxembourg and works very closely with the Clinical Projects Management Office (CPMO) and the Competence Centre for Methodology and Statistics (CCMS). CIEC stands for excellence in operational support in clinical research whilst striving to ensure respect of patient rights, data privacy and offering the opportunity to access new, innovative therapeutic approaches otherwise inaccessible.
CIEC supports research and health care institutions, international academia and pharmaceutical industry players, providing them with high quality clinical research and services. CIEC coordinated more than 7000 participants included in 140 research projects, academic or pharma-led clinical trials in the last 10 years and further aims at better addressing patients’ needs and quality of life by increasing relevant and innovative clinical research in Luxembourg, including the development of clinical and translational research.
