Clinical trials
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a medical research study that is primarily conducted on medicines, although medical devices and diagnostic or therapeutic techniques are also studied. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an innovative treatment in humans. These trials are essential to determine how a new treatment behaves before it is widely used.
Active clinical trials in the areas of:
- Influenza vaccination
- Hepatitis C treatment
- Advanced luminal breast cancer
- Lung cancer
- Interventional radiology
Active clinical trials in the area of:
- Orotracheal intubation techniques
