Research Support – ScienHub

We promote research by offering comprehensive support in the management and implementation of clinical studies.

We provide advice, solutions and structures that accompany the investigator throughout the clinical study process, from design to execution, guaranteeing compliance with all ethical and regulatory standards and ensuring the quality and validity of the research.

Process

Design

The research team, through observation, formulates a research question and idea.

Research team
Approval

In this phase, it is necessary to prepare the documentation, select the study personnel, obtain the necessary approvals (Ethics Committee, Autonomous Communities, and regulatory agencies), and finally, sign the contracts and register the study on the corresponding platforms.

CRO - Contract Research Organization
Implementation

In this phase, all study documents are created (investigator’s file, recruitment materials, among others), and the data collection notebook is developed. Logistic and coordination tasks are carried out to implement the study. Finally, the initiation visit is conducted, during which all key points of the project are reviewed.

CRO - Contract Research Organization

CTU - Clinical Trials Unit
Development

The search and selection of participants are carried out. Study procedures are performed (obtaining informed consent, scheduling study visits, and conducting and tracking procedures). The study is monitored to ensure compliance with regulations and adherence to the research protocol. After its conclusion, the closing visit is conducted.

Analysis

Data exports are carried out for analysis purposes. These are interpreted in order to address the hypotheses and objectives outlined in the protocol’s design. Finally, the results of the questions posed and the conclusions drawn are documented.

Communication

Based on the evidence found, the results are published in scientific journals and specialized conferences to enhance the knowledge of the scientific community.

New Hope for Cognitive Decline: LAMIFERON Study Evaluates the Effect of Lamivudine

A research team led by Fundació Lluita contra les Infeccions and IrsiCaixa, in collaboration with Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol and the BBRC, is investigating the impact of lamivudine (3TC) on biomarkers associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The study will include 25 participants and will analyze the drug’s effects on type I interferon-stimulated genes.

To ensure the project’s success, ScienHub Research Support provides full assistance through its CRO and CTU, ensuring protocol compliance and good clinical practices. Additionally, the study will serve to evaluate
Thalassa 2.0: Investigating Plitidepsin’s Potential Against Long COVID

The Fundació Lluita contra les Infeccions and PharmaMar launched the Thalassa 2.0 trial, a phase II study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of plitidepsin in treating long COVID. The study seeks to provide new therapeutic options for patients.

ScienHub Research Support is in charge of the study’s planning, execution and monitoring reinforcing its commitment to innovative treatments. Its intense involvement highlights its key role and commitment in advancing potential therapies for long COVID and strengthening its presence in supporting medical research.
BCN03 Trial: Advancing Therapeutic Vaccines for HIV Control

The BCN03 clinical trial, a phase I study led by IrsiCaixa, is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 30 participants. It aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of therapeutic vaccines against HIV-1 (ChAdOx1.HTI, MVA.HTI, and ConM SOSIP.v7 gp140) to develop immune-based strategies for controlling the virus without lifelong treatment.

The ScienHub Research Support team (CTU/CRO) managed the trial’s procedures, regulatory processes, and study monitoring, providing full support to the research team throughout all phases—from initiation to completion.
