Abstract

In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in clinical trials in the field of oncohematology, a field in which the appearance of new drugs is continuous. In addition to the high number of clinical trials available, the growing complexity of the treatments developed for cancer is also relevant. This situation has required a notable evolution and specialization of the functions and responsibilities of pharmacy technicians in the Clinical Trials Unit of the Pharmacy Service.

This article describes the functions of the pharmacy technician in a Clinical Trial Unit of the Pharmacy Service of an oncohematological hospital, with a track record of more than 20 years of experience in Clinical Trials.
