Clinical Trial Foundations

History of Clinical Trials

Are you aware that before a medicine reaches the pharmacy shelf, it undergoes years of clinical testing? Take aspirin, for example, a pain reliever we trust today, was widely used based on early observations rather than the rigorous clinical trials we follow now.

Why do we need you?

Clinical research participants are invaluable. There is no substitute for them. No scientific instrument, machine, microscope, or even the most advanced equipment can replace the knowledge that humans contribute. It is only through volunteers like you that medical achievements can reach the public.

Myths of Clinical trials

Despite the amazing breakthroughs of clinical trials, some common misconceptions, particularly regarding procedures, purposes, and most importantly, the safety of participants, often discourage people from participating. Additionally, past incidents of unethical research and some media coverage have also led to distrust.
