World’s largest medical research agencies and funders have agreed to work together to implement the new WHO best practices on clinical trials https://t.co/vv97q46NqO
A clinical trial tests new interventions to assess if they are safe and effective for people.
Interventions include - but are not limited to - to drugs, cells and other biological products, surgical procedures, radiologic procedures, devices, behavioural treatments, process-of-care changes, preventive care, etc.
The highest quality evidence on medicines, vaccines and healthcare comes from clinical trials that ensure the safety and well-being of volunteers https://t.co/NsBuOWa9lx
Q: Why are clinical trials important?
A: They resolve public health challenges
🧪 They help us find out what works: Clinical trials test new treatments or approaches to see if they are safe and effective for people.
🧪 They protect patients: Trials follow strict rules to make sure participants are treated ethically and safely, helping improve care for everyone.
🧪 They power medical progress: Without clinical trials, we wouldn’t have vaccines, cancer therapies or many of the treatments we rely on today
🧪 They drive innovation and economic growth: Investments in health research have led to billions in GDP growth, thousands of patents and hundreds of thousands of jobs.
