Compendium of industrially promoted clinical research activities 2012 within the Groupement inter- régionale de recherche clinique (GIRCI) Grand Ouest

The Compendium of Activities is produced annually by CeNGEPS. Its objective is to assess the activities of industrially promoted clinical research at the level of each clinical research inter-region (GIRCI) as well as at the national level. The data presented here are from the GRAND WEST Inter-region (http://www.girci-go.org/). They were collected via Excel files completed by each DRCI and grouped by the inter-region. The scope of the 2012 compendium as presented is as follows: French investigation centers within the inter-region Grand Ouest - 2012 drug trials. For this purpose, two categories of investigating centres are studied: 1. New centres defined as ‘investigating centres whose agreement was signed by the industrial promoter and received by the health institution during the year studied, here 2012’ 2. Centres closed and invoiced during the year studied, here 2012
