ABSTRACT:

Clinical trials are also called as pharmacological trials because they are specially designed to establish the safety, therapeutic action, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic characterstics. There are various phases in which the clinical trials is carried out. A clinical trial is a method which involves the testing of a new medicine to evaluate whether it is safe and effective. From drug discovery through FDA approval, developing a new medicine takes at least 10 years on average and costs an average of $2.6 billion. Less than 12% of the candidate medicines that make it into Phase 1 clinical trials will be approved by the FDA.
