What does clinical research involve?

Clinical research is part of the complex procedure to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of new drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. These new drugs are previously tested on animals and eventually are given to human beings once drugs have demonstrated to be safe. Research teams and patients around the world have participated in the development of most drugs. Studies are conducted to determine the effectiveness of the drug according to their dose and specificity. For any new drug development studies there are four phases where volunteers subjects can participate before the drug is approved by the health department to be used in the general public. Once the drug is proved to be safe and effective, the health department will then authorize for public consumption.
