Clinical Research refers to all research and clinical trial processes carried out on humans to determine the safety and effectiveness of treatments intended for human use. Clinical Research improves the knowledge of diseases, developing diagnostic methods and new treatments or medical devices to ensure better patient care.
Treatments must pass through clinical trials, of which there are four phases. With each phase, more participants are added to the trial. Participants include both patients and healthy volunteer members of the public and are often separated into two groups; with one group given the treatment and another a placebo. This allows to better determine how effective the product is. All new treatments must pass through the first three phases of a clinical trial before they are licensed, with some requiring to pass through a fourth.
In the context of clinical research, “clinical biometrics” refers to the application of statistical and data management techniques to ensure the integrity, accuracy, and regulatory compliance of clinical trial data, encompassing areas like biostatistics, statistical programming, and data management.
