Notas do episódio
What does it take to design and lead a clinical trial in hematology? In this episode of EHA Unplugged, Prof. Elias K. Mai shares his experience transitioning from clinical practice to becoming a principal investigator, and how the EHA Clinical Research Training in Hematology (CRTH) program helped shape his path.
Prof. Mai reflects on the practical and often underappreciated challenges of clinical trial design—from budgeting and statistical planning to ethical considerations and regulatory requirements. He highlights the importance of mentorship and peer networks, as well as the need for persistence when ideas are ahead of their time. The conversation also explores the skills hematologists need to get started in clinical research, with a clear message: developing trials is a multifaceted process that requires both scientific expertise and hands-on learning.
Whether you are early in your career or considering a move into clinical research, this episode offers valuable insights into how to take the first steps, overcome challenges, and ultimately contribute to improving patient care through clinical trials.
