A clinical trial is an intervention study – a particular kind of clinical research study that aims to answer the question about treatment. The treatment under investigation can be a new drug, medical device, or behavior. The question is usually about the safety or efficacy of the intervention.
A long process of preclinical research precedes a clinical trial. Initially, the intervention is studied in the lab. These tests begin in labs and often involve toxicity screening. Then they will progress to animals( as mice or ferrets) for further toxicity and safety testing and to collect initial efficacy outcomes. After preclinical research, if the intervention appears promising, it will enter into the 5 phases of the clinical trial:
There are four phases in a clinical trial:
With increasing demands for numerous treatments for rare, new, and chronic diseases, the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry looks forward to developing innovative drugs and generic versions of the innovator drugs. Drug developers prepare for clinical trials to fill this demand and supply void within a reasonable cost. Clinical trials are a key research tool for advancing medical knowledge and patient care. Clinical research is done when doctors do not know whether a new approach works well in people and is safe and which treatments or strategies work best for certain illnesses or groups. Clinical trials play a crucial part in developing new therapeutics and vaccines, allowing drug manufacturers to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new medicines in a controlled manner.
