What Are Clinical Trials? How To Get Writing Support For Your Clinical Trials?


Making our living better and comfortable is what science trying to do since ages. The well-being of human race is what the new inventions and discoveries in medical science are focused on. There are various diseases that have been taking a toll on human lives and making survival difficult. Medical science, over the years, has discovered cure for numerous diseases. Further, constant efforts are being made to discover cure for diseases that remains uncured and to find better treatment strategies for existing ones.

Clinical trials, being one of the parts of these efforts, are aimed towards finding/developing new and better treatments for various ailments and help patients all over the globe and enhance human health.

What is a clinical trial?

Clinical trials are explained as the scientific studies which are organized with a focus on preventing, screening, diagnosing and treating various diseases. These trials show that which treatment would be the best for an ailment/ disease in group of people.

Clinical trials aim to answer the scientific questions. Clinical trials, therefore, follow strict protocols and scientific standards and guidelines so that the patients are safeguarded, and reliable clinical trial results are generated.

New ideas are developed and tested under lab conditions after which they are tested in clinical trials. Clinical trials thus fall under the final stage of prolonged research and development process.

Clinical trial phases:

Clinical trials are divided into 4 stages. Each stage/phase holds its certain importance and a distinct purpose. Below mentioned are the four phases of clinical trials:

Phase 1: This is conducted on a smaller scale, probably a smaller group of people, to test an experimental drug. This is to assess the safety levels of a drug or treatment.

Phase 2: This phase involves more people than phase 1. The experimental group is bigger, and the tests are conducted to assess whether the drug/treatment is effective or not.

Phase 3: This phase includes conducting of experiment on larger group of people. Here, the experimental drug is compared with a placebo or standard treatment and then the safety and efficacy of the drug are evaluated. The potential side effects of the drug, that otherwise go unnoticed in phase 2, can be detected at this phase as the group being experimented on is larger. If the drug being tested is found to be more efficient and effective than the existing ones or placebo, it is further presented for FDA approval.

Phase 4: Post the phase 3 trials, a drug is either approved or rejected. The phase 4 begins when FDA approves a particular drug. The drug’s efficiency and safety are then assessed in diverse population.

Every clinical trial has a fixed protocol and plan that state that how a clinical trial would be conducted, what will be done in the trials and why every phase is important. The protocols also include the information and rules about the people participating in the trials and mentions that who cannot participate in the trials.

There are various documents associated with clinical trials which are to be sponsored and monitored in accordance with GCP (Good Clinical Practice) and all the required regulatory guidelines.

Good and efficient medical writers are required to work on these documents and most pharma and healthcare companies, and clinical research organizations struggle to find efficient and skilled medical writers who can generate the required documents in a systematic fashion.

Wondering How To Meet Your Regulatory Affairs Requirements? Read This!


In the times when new regulations are formed every day and there are strict regulatory requirements, pharma companies often look for advisors to guide them in respect to legal and scientific requirements and to obtain support for marketing authorizations for various regions.

For this purpose, regulatory experts are required who can advise the right strategy that suits each phase of product development. Regulatory help is the biggest help!

Regulatory writing makes for a crucial element in medical writing. Regulatory writers work on crucial documents right from the beginning of product development, like:
  • Describing and reporting clinical data
  • Working on regulatory submission reports
  • Generating post-approval reports mentioning the use of a certain treatment for the patients
Some of the documents that a regulatory writer works on are:
  • Clinical study protocols
  • Clinical study reports
  • Investigator brochures
  • Common technical documents (CTDs)
  • Integrated safety summaries
  • Clinical evaluation reports
  • Patient information leaflets
A regulatory writer works on producing these regulatory documents and all the documents must have strict adherence to regulatory guidelines. They should be capable of delivering the required and desired information precisely, unbiasedly and clearly to the target audience.

Clinical Study Reports (CSR) are the outcome of a lot of hard work and in-depth research of the study teams. It is extremely important to draft well-organized and quality regulatory documents. A well-drafted CSR helps in generating high-quality submission documents whereas any CSR lacking in accuracy and clarity will result in a delay in getting regulatory approval and will cost time and money for the benefactor.

Well-experienced and trained regulatory writers are required to deal with all the necessary documents as they help in adding value in generating clinical study documents. During the process of clinical research, regulatory writers can serve as a walking encyclopedia at every step. Regulatory writers are well-versed with all the global regulatory guidelines such as Good Clinical Practice (GCP), International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), etc. and work in accordance with the preferred or required styles of the study teams/benefactors.

Regulatory writers can understand the complex scientific and statistical information and can serve as a guide to the clinical teams, including experts from various fields such as pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, clinical statistics, etc. They present the information in an organized and simple manner for it to be understandable. They interpret the results and are in charge of presenting clear and unbiased conclusions.

Why go for outsourced regulatory services?

Regulatory affairs are very crucial, and many firms hire regulatory writers via outsourcing. When deciding whether to outsource your regulatory writing team, cost analysis plays a major role. It is essential to present complex information/data clearly post accurate interpretation within the strict and short timelines. In such a situation, outsourcing experienced regulatory writers can be a wise option as it will help to maintain the quality of documents and will also eliminate the risk of failed submissions within the timelines.

By tapping onto the resilience of the expert team of regulatory writers, who are well-aware of the recent guidelines, work efficiency is promoted for your organization as your deliverables will have timely submissions and it can also prove to be cost-effective. The ever-changing publication demands can sometimes increase the workload on your in-house team, and you might struggle to get the work done and hiring a full-time team of regulatory writers might not be the wisest option, cost-wise. By outsourcing skilled regulatory writers, you can cut the extra cost and get your work done efficiently.

Outsourcing writers exposes your organization to a greater docility and by maintaining long-term relationships with outsourcing firms, you can get your work done in future too.

Turacoz Healthcare Solutions equips with a dynamic and highly skilled team of regulatory writers who are always committed to deliver projects timely and with strict adherence to all the guidelines.

Want to live a healthy life? These daily habits will help you fulfill your goal of being fit


Another year has ended marking the beginning of a new year. Lots of hopes and dreams are associated with the year 2019. We all are looking forward to this year and hoping it to bring us good luck and well-being. To achieve anything in life one needs to be healthy both physically and mentally. We all must have made various new year resolutions.
“I would go hit a gym. I would go for a walk/run. I would dump junk food. I would go on a diet.”
These are some of the resolutions many of us make every year but tend to forget them or fail to follow-up. Considering the hectic lifestyle, we lead today, it is quite difficult for many of us to go to a gym daily or break-up with junk food forever. So, does this make our plan of being fit, fail?
NO, certainly not. There are still a few things that you can do on daily basis to have a healthy and stress-free life. You might have read a lot about various diet-plans and workout routines that promise to make you shred those extra kilos and keep you fit. It is hardly plausible to tip-toe on these routines. Turacoz Healthcare Solutions understands that being fit is not only the need of the hour, but it is also extremely important for an individual to stay healthy. Turacoz also understands how difficult it is to follow a strict diet or workout plan for individuals living a hectic life.
So, now you do not need to break the sweat to be healthy. Here are some simple healthy habits/lifestyle changes if incorporated in one’s daily routine, would bring out great results:
  • Early to bed, early to rise: Yes, it makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. This nursery rhyme is not just to sing along with the kids, but it really reveals the biggest secret to live a healthy life. Getting up early in the morning keeps you healthy, fresh and does good to your body. Sleeping till late or staying awake late till might not only hampers your physical but also mental health. Try and fix your sleep time. Don't stay awake till too late and make sure to get enough sleep so that you can get up fresh in the morning.
For all the tech-savvy people, it will cost you nothing to keep your cell phones aside an hour prior to sleeping in the night. This will ensure a sound sleep.
  • Get yourself to drink a glass of lemon & honey water: The first thing after getting up in the morning should be to mix lemon juice and honey in a glass of warm water and drink it. This helps boost your energy level and helps in weight reduction. Make sure to have it daily to see the positive results.
  • Move it, groove it: Working out on an empty stomach is good for your body. You don’t need to go to gym for that. You can do any form of exercise that you enjoy doing. Enjoying your workout is very important. You can go for cardio workouts like running, aerobics or even brisk walk. Early morning cardio on an empty stomach helps you lose weight and perk up your energy levels by preparing your body for an all-day fat burn.
  • Meditate: Your mental health is equally important. The busy life schedule has aggravated the mental issues like stress. Stress has now become a part of majority of people’s lives. Stress not only hampers your mental peace but also has adverse effects on your body. To stay stress-free and achieve mental and inner peace in your life, spare 10-15 minutes in morning to practice meditation. Do yoga and perform activities like pranayama, stretching, etc. and relax. Choose a peaceful place for this so that your senses can be calm, and you can enjoy.
  • Give your taste buds some healthy fuel: Skipping breakfast can be very hazardous to your health. Make sure you eat the right breakfast. You can have oatmeal, quinoa, boiled eggs, fruit salad, milk, etc. For your breakfast. They go perfectly with your busy schedule and keep you energized for the day without adding much calories and giving your body what it requires.
  • Don't sit for too long at your workplace: We are trapped in our 9-5 desk jobs and this is taking a huge toll on our health. The constant and excessive screen time and sitting hours are giving birth to various health issues. While this cannot be avoided, try to include some simple activities like stretching, walking for a while, simple exercises for eyes, etc. The main motive is to take a break from the screen and sitting.
  • Drink plenty of water: Water is termed as the miraculous drink as it works wonders for your body. Make sure to drink 2-3 liters of water every day. Water keeps you hydrated, flushes out toxins from your body and helps keeping your skin glowing.
  • Reduce the intake of junk food: It would be a mere fantasy to live without your favorite pizza or hamburger even while knowing what it does to your body. While there are some blessed people who won’t get fat while eating everything available on the planet, most of us struggle hard to maintain a healthy weight. The entire game is of metabolism though. Completely ditching junk is something which is recommended by almost everyone who turns out to be a health guru, but it is not possible to eliminate the intake. What you can do is reduce the intake of the junk food. Try replacing these with healthier options like dry fruits, fruits or healthy snacks like baked ones instead of fried ones. Start slowly and gradually you would be able to control your intake of processed foods.
  • Have proper lunch: It might seem funny to be talking about having lunch here, but it is scary reality that many people skip lunch or have it late due to their busy schedules. Think how much your body curses you for not keeping it hungry. Ensure that you have proper and timely lunch.
  • Munchy evenings: Try having something to eat as evening snack, be it dry fruits, baked snacks, green tea, etc. This will bridge the gap between your lunch and dinner time and will keep your metabolism boosted. This is a trick which many of us either don’t know or miss.
  • Have a light dinner: Keep your dinner light. Make sure you don’t consume any junk or processed food for your dinner as your activity level is the lowest during this time.
  • Meditating before sleep: there are many people who complain of sleeplessness or sleep apnea- a condition where you sleep but still feel tired in the morning and have a feeling of incomplete sleep. This is also a lifestyle related issue. Glaring at the mobile or laptop screens while sleeping causes the tiredness post sleep. Make sure that you keep your cell phones away an hour prior to sleep and meditate for 5-10 minutes before going to bed so that you experience sound sleep.
These simple yet effective tips will bring about a huge change in your lives and will fill your mind with positivity. They can easily gel up with your busy life and minimum efforts are required in accomplishing them. So, you can set them as your new year resolutions and set on a mission to be healthy and fit.
Turacoz Healthcare Solutions is a medical communication company that provides medical writing services such as publication writing, clinical trial support, pharmacovigilance support, regulatory writing, etc. To know more about our services, write us at hello@turacoz.in
Turacoz hopes that this new year will bring good health, happiness, fortune and wealth in your life and will help you achieve your goals and taste the success.

I Won’t Give Up: HIV/AIDS Survival Stories


With over 940000 deaths globally and 1.8 million new cases in 2017, worldwide, HIV/AIDS is still a complicated condition the world is dealing with. India still accounts for 4th highest number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS. As of now, there is no cure for this disease.

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a condition caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). This virus attacks human immune system, making them weak and developing lower resistance against various disease. It makes the immune system so weak that even a simple cough and cold can become too troublesome for the infected person.

Though the world has seen a significant reduction in the number of new HIV patients as well as the number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS, yet, there is a long way to go. World AIDS Day is celebrated every year on 1st December with an aim to spread awareness against the disease. This disease is still a taboo in many societies and people, despite the circulated information against the disease, have difficulty accepting HIV patients and these patients are treated as an outcast in the society.

Turacoz Healthcare Solutions brings to you few stories of people who are struggling hard with HIV/AIDS and leading their life. These are the stories of their struggle and the issues they have been facing ever since they were diagnosed with this condition.

“I have no one to shift the blame upon”

I am a 29-year-old female, living in Delhi. Everything was seemingly fine until I was diagnosed with HIV, 2 years back. My world shattered right in front of my eyes. How stupid was I to not to think that this disease can happened to me as I was so addicted to drugs and was involved in sharing needles to inject drugs. I always knew about this disease but thought it could never target me. I was wrong.

I went to rehab to get rid of my drug addiction. I was successful and was living a new life where there was no place for drugs and then this happened. I had fever that lasted for days and doctors recommended a blood test and the reports changed my life overnight. I was declared HIV positive.

It is hard to live as a HIV patient as your own guilt never leaves you, your body is not the same as before, you’re fighting with your health and at the same time the society has abandoned you.

This happened to me, I was declared an outcast. With few months of diagnosis, I lost many of my friends, relatives and almost every person in my social circle, excluding my parents. People used to label me as a character-less woman. But this disease is not just a sexually transmitted one, there are other factors too, and mine was one of them. But no one wanted to know how I felt. I struggled with everything from the loss of my health, friends to depression.

I was taking therapies and medicine for the disease and was also fighting depression at the same tie. My body wasn’t taking well, the anti-depressants, so they had to be stopped. My parents were my only support and every time I looked at them, I felt even more guilty. At one point I also thought of ending up my life but snapped back looking at my parents.

I just want to tell everyone that HIV/AIDS does equal harm to your mental health. If the society becomes more accepting of HIV patients, maybe we can reduce the stigma the patient faces. HIV doesn’t spread from touching or being with a HIV positive person. This is only transferrable through sexual transmission, sharing needles or blood transfusion.

Let’s make a society where HIV patients can live normally like other people. Let us be more accepting of HIV patients and understand and support them so that they can at least feel less pain mentally.

“I’m learning how to live with HIV”

Around 1.5 years back, my world changed when I was diagnosed with HIV. The blood reports stated “Reactive” and tears rolled down my face. I cursed the man who was responsible for this. He told me after a year of our sexually intimate relationship that he was HIV positive. I was devastated and out of fear went to get my blood test done and my fear came true.

I never felt ashamed of my sexual preferences and was okay being in a homosexual relationship with this man who gifted me the virus. I cursed him after seeing my blood reports and questioned him why he didn’t tell me before. ‘What is my fault?’ this was the question that kept echoing in my mind.

I was scared. For few days I didn’t tell this to anyone and then one day, I exploded in front of my friend and sobbed uncontrollably. She knew the state I was in. She comforted me and made me believe that everything will be alright. I slowly came to terms with my condition and now my family knew about this. It was devastating for them too, but with time they also learned to deal with the reality.

My initial struggle with the disease wasn’t an easy one. The news of me being HIV positive spread like a forest fire and in no time, I was secluded by the society I live in. A feeing of self-hatred and disgust developed into me and I stopped talking to anyone. My friend slowly took me out of the depression I was into, with the help of my family and other friends. She tried to make me feel good about myself.

There are various advancements been made in treatment of HIV/AIDS to help HIV patients live a long and healthy life. I went on to take antiretroviral therapy. Today, I have again started seeing myself in a different light. The feeling of self-hatred has been now diminishing and I am becoming more and more accepting.

My friends helped me a lot in coming to terms with my condition and they also helped others understand my situation. Around 2 years with this disease, I am now becoming more positive and learning to deal with the condition.

HIV is a lifelong condition and the person affected by it has to live on medications for his/her entire life. It can also happen to people who are involved in heterosexual relationships, so this is a myth that this is a disease brought in by the homosexuals.

Society needs to understand the pain a HIV positive person suffers and try to make them comfortable. Behave the way you are with others, with a HIV positive person. HIV patients are also part of this society.

There are many organizations that offer free antiretroviral therapy like AIDS Health Foundation, India HIV Alliance, etc. You can get the treatments from there. My message to all the HIV patients is that- “It can happen to anyone. Face the reality and learn to cope up with it. Through constant monitoring and taking the medications and therapies regularly, you can also live a healthy and long life. HIV is not the end of you.”

These 2 stories have few things in common:

  • The struggle of HIV patients, health wise
  • The social stigma they face

The most important thing for both these individuals was that, they decided to not to give up.

Our society needs to understand the fact that AIDS is not a general communicable disease and only spreads through vaginal or rectal fluids, semen, blood transfusion, breast milk & using shared needles. It does not spread through being friends with a HIV positive person. Accept HIV. Take precautionary measures and learn more about the disease, but secluding HIV patients from the society is not the way this condition is going to be solved.

Turacoz Healthcare Solutions, being a medical communication company, understands the sentiments and struggles of HIV patients and ask people to be more understanding of the disease and treat HIV patients as the part of their society and behave normally with them. Also, Turacoz appeals the HIV patients to be optimistic and never think of giving up. HIV certainly doesn’t mean the end of your life. You still have a long way to go. Take proper medications and antiretroviral therapy is going to help you live a long and healthy life.

Mentioned below are some helplines for HIV/AIDS patients in India:

  • Helpline no.: 1097 (National AIDS Control Organization (NACO))
  • Contact no.: +91 9892864024 (AIDS Society of India)
  • Contact no.: 23543333, 23542222 (ASHA (Action Service Hope for AIDS))

Getting a hold of Real-World Evidences was never so easy!


The world of pharmacy today is full of new drug innovations and enhancements. Various drug manufacturers are coming up with new medications for various ailments and want to get it approved for use. Whenever a new drug is produced, before it is sold into the market, it has to go through certain approvals by regulatory authorities to ensure that it is safe for consumption and is effective in the treatment of the ailment it is meant for.

Clinical trials though, are conducted to validate the efficacy and safety of a drug but, these trials are conducted are in a controlled environment. Before the drug is out in the market, it is very important to know how it functions in an uncontrolled environment, i.e. the real world.

We have to comprehend the job of a medication in enhancing patients' results and what all variables come into the image. This calls for the “Real-World Evidences.” It gives you bits of knowledge on different angles like drug safety, pharmacoepidemiology, health economics, and research results and aides in effective decision making.

Real-world evidence (RWE) and Real-world data (RWD) are assuming an expanding job in healthcare decisions.

  • Food and Drug Administration (FDA) utilizes RWD and RWE to screen post market safety and unfavorable events and to settle on regulatory decisions.
  • The healthcare sector is utilizing this information to support coverage decisions and to create guidelines and decision support tools for use in clinical practice.
  • Therapeutic device manufacturers are utilizing RWD and RWE to help clinical trial structures (e.g., extensive straightforward trials, pragmatic clinical trials) and observational examinations to create inventive, new treatment approaches.

What is RWE?

It is the clinical proof regarding the use and potential advantages, or dangers of a therapeutic product derived from the examination of RWD.

What are RWD and where do they originate from?

These are the data identifying with patient wellbeing status as well as the conveyance of medicinal services routinely gathered from an assortment of sources. RWD can originate from various sources, for instance:

  • Electronic health records (EHRs)
  • Product and disease libraries
  • Patient-created information incorporating into home-use settings
  • Claims and billing exercises
  • Data accumulated from different sources that can advise on health status, for example, cell phones

Real-world evidences go through the following issues and address them:

  • Fiscal strain of a disease
  • Advantages of a new intervention & its commercial connotation
  • Additional cost of a therapy: risk vs. benefit
  • Assessing new treatment vs. existing alternatives

These assessments are eventually converted into clinical, financial, and humanistic results of a treatment. The current circumstance requests RWES to completely comprehend the estimation of a product and its potential in real-world clinical practice. Assessing a medication just on the premise of its viability and safety is not anymore adequate to dispatch a product for clinical use.

Eliminating your worries on real-world evidences with Turacoz Healthcare Solutions:

Got Stuck? Join Hands with Turacoz to Streamline your Pharmacovigilance Process



Whenever there is a new drug on the market the biggest question surrounding it is about its safety and any possible adverse effects. Drugs are created for the safety and betterment of human lives, so it is very important to be sure of the usage of the drug, its side-effects, etc.

This is where Pharmacovigilance comes into the picture. If you are a pharma company/drug manufacturer, you might want someone to offer you with pharmacovigilance support.

Pharmacovigilance deals with 2 main aspects:

v  Safety: how safe is the drug for consumption & how they work on patient.
v  Potency: how effective is the drug in treatment of various diseases and what effect does it has on patients.

What is Pharmacovigilance?

Pharmacovigilance is also known as ‘drug safety’. It includes assembling, inspection, controlling and interception of adverse effects of drugs & therapies. This is a scientific and process-oriented field in the pharmaceutical world.

It is concerned with every facet of drug development-course, starting from pre-clinical progress to post-market control. This establishes pharmacovigilance as the bottom edge of a life sciences firm.

What is ‘adverse event’?

The ‘adverse event’ for any drugs is the side effect that a drug has on human body. When a drug reacts with the human body and creates a negative effect, then it can lead to serious & dangerous effects on health and a patient might have to go through hospitalization, immobility, permanent impairment or even death in the worse scenario.

It is compulsory for all the clinical trial research auditors to report the adverse effects of the drugs even if there is only a speculation or doubt.

The role of pharmacovigilance is to learn whether the side effects of the drug are within the accepted limit as compared to the usefulness of the drug. In simpler terms, it assesses whether the effectiveness of a drug in treating a disease is worthy enough to let slide some side effects it causes.

Why is Pharmacovigilance so important?



v  It plays a crucial role in drug development. If a company wants to develop, synthesize & commercialize its drugs then it must stick to the rules & regulations. These regulations ask for the efficiency of a drug, its advantages & other benefits for the patients.

v  The main aim of pharmacovigilance is to access drug- and patient safety. Drug safety ensures that the drug does not cause any unwanted and negative effect on the patients during the drug development cycle or when it is ready for sale in the market.

v  Drugs are constantly kept under observation for any side-effects on patients & any new data if generated is organized and handed over to the health authorities at frequent intervals.
 If you are a drug manufacturer/pharma company & looking for pharmacovigilance support, then Turacoz Healthcare Solutions is there to help you.
