Introduction to Clinical Research
Clinical Research is a most knowledge intensive and interesting field in
pharmaceutical industry. The billion dollar industry is demanding the
employment opportunities of qualified and trained professionals in clinical
research sector.
What is clinical research?
Clinical research is a branch of healthcare science that determines the safety
and effectiveness of medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment
regimens intended for human use. These may be used for prevention,
treatment, diagnosis or for relieving symptoms of a disease. Clinical research
is different from clinical practice. In clinical research evidence is collected to
establish a treatment for particular disease.
Clinical research aims to advance medical knowledge by studying people,
either through direct interaction or through the collection and analysis of
blood, tissues, or other samples
Types of Clinical Research
The clinical research is categorized into two types mainly
1. Comparative Clinical Research
It is also known as controlled clinical trial. The research participants are
divided into two group’s one group receives the investigational treatment,
while another group either records the conventional (traditional) treatment
or nothing. The control group might be given a fake treatment. This is an
idle pill, injection or implantation that seems similar to the investigational
treatment. The treatment conducted is kept confidential that means patient
and physician both are unaware that who is acquiring the investigational
treatment.
2. Open Label Clinical Research

2. In this type the patient and physician both know that the investigational
treatment is going to conduct.
Phases of Clinical Research Trial
There are main phases of clinical trials: Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and
Phase IV. The four phases of the drug approval process are separate clinical
trials, and the entire process typically takes eight to 10 years.
Phase I
In this phase the first drug treatment is carried out on a small group of
people. Investigator or a scientist figure out the drug’s safety, determine a
safe dosage range and analyze its side effects.
Phase II
In phase II same procedure is followed as phase one but the treatment is
carried out for the large number of people to observe its behavior and
safety.
Phase III
The drug treatment is conducted for larger group of people. In this phase
scientists or observer confirms effectiveness of a drug on particular disease,
monitors its side effects, compare with traditional treatments and gathers all
the information about the experiment so that the drug is been used safely in
future.
Phase IV
Phase four deals with the post marketing studies that are conducted after a
treatment will be approved for commercial use by FDA. Post marketing study
includes all the required information about the drug along with its hazards,
profits and best usage.
Scope of Clinical Research in India
Clinical research is having great opportunities of career. As explained earlier
there are many phases of clinical research from the manufacturing of the
drug to its commercial usage there are lot many opportunities for clinical
research professionals available at each and every stage with up growing
and endless career.
