Clinical research is the aspect of biomedical research that addresses the assessment of new pharmaceutical and biological drugs, medical devices and vaccines in humans.


Video Outline of clinical research



General topics

  • Clinical significance - a conclusion that an intervention has an effect that is of practical meaning to patients
  • Drug discovery - the identification of candidates, synthesis, characterization, screening, and assays for therapeutic efficacy
  • Drug development - the process of taking a new chemical through the stages necessary to allow testing in clinical trials
  • Biotechnology - the technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms to make or modify products or processes for specific use
    • Biopharmaceutical - a drug produced using biotechnology
  • Clinical trial - an experiment with human subjects to assess safety and efficacy of drugs
    • Academic clinical trials - clinical trials run at academic centers (e.g., medical schools, academic hospitals, and universities)
    • Clinical trials unit - biomedical research units dedicated to conducting clinical trials
  • Epidemiology - the study of factors affecting the health and illness of populations
    • Epidemiological methods - statistical techniques used in epidemiology
  • Evidence-based medicine - the assessment of the quality of evidence relevant to the risks and benefits of medical treatments
  • Pharmacology - the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and drugs that alter normal biochemical function
    • Biopharmacology - the pharmacology of biopharmaceuticals
    • Clinical pharmacology - the scientific discipline focused on rational drug development and utilization in therapeutics
    • Pharmacokinetics - the study of the fate of drugs administered to the body
      • Bioequivalence - the biological equivalence of two preparations of a drug
    • Pharmacodynamics - the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs on the body
    • Pharmacometrics - the science of interpreting and describing pharmacology in a quantitative fashion
  • Pharmacovigilance - the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects of medicines

Drug terminology

  • Active ingredient - the substance in a drug that is pharmaceutically active
  • Approved drug - a drug that has been approved for marketing by a regulatory body such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the European Medicines Agency
  • Excipient - an inactive substance used as a carrier for the active ingredients of a drug
  • Medicinal product - any substance or combination of substances used for treating or preventing disease in humans
  • Off-label use - the practice of prescribing a drug for an indication for which the drug has not been approved
  • Orphan drug - a drug used to treat a rare medical condition, or orphan disease
  • Placebo - a sham treatment given to a control group in a clinical study
  • Prescription drug - a licensed medicine that can only be obtained by prescription from a doctor
  • Standard treatment - a currently available drug used in an active control clinical study
