Clinical Trial Unit

The Clinical Trial Unit at Haukeland University Hospital consists of a section for adults and a section for children. The unit is organised in the Department of Research & Development, but is closely linked to the Department of Paediatrics as well as to several major clinical departments in the university hospital. Haukeland University Hospital has built new infrastructure and made it possible to participate in both national and international clinical trials of children and adults.

Clinical trial unit for adults

The unit is located in the hospital's main building, one floor above the intensive care unit, intervention centers, radiology services, and operating theaters. It has three intensive care beds and five outpatient places, along with a high-quality laboratory for handling chemical and biological materials, including living cells.
 
The unit collaborates closely with the University of Bergen and has access to advanced technology for animal research, proteomics, genomics, medical visualization, and molecular imaging. Established in November 2006, it supports research with high safety and quality standards.

Clinical trial unit for children

The unit is located in the Department of Pediatrics at Haukeland University Hospital, both in the inpatient ward and outpatient unit. Proximity to specialists ensures safe surroundings for clinical studies in children. The EMA now requires that all new drugs intended for children must be tested in children. Established in March 2007, it is the only unit of its kind in the Nordic countries

Services

The unit prioritizes studies of human pharmacotherapy in early phases, both internal and external, especially from the pharmaceutical industry. Research coordinators are experienced specialized nurses with backgrounds in intensive care, oncology, and pediatrics. The unit offers support in all phases of clinical trials, including protocol design.
