Definition of a clinical trial • Health related research studies performed in human beings
Types of clinical trials • Treatment trials • Prevention trials • Diagnostic trials • Screening trials • Quality of life trials
Participants in a clinical trial • To gain access to novel research treatment • Provide information on drug efficacy and potential toxicity
Benefits of taking part in a clinical trial • Gain access to novel therapies • Obtain expert medical care • Contribution to medical research
Risks of clinical trials • Unpleasant or life-threatening side effects • The experimental treatment may not be effective
Process of clinical trials • Based on research results • Based on a specific protocols • Participants are continuously monitored • Results assessed and statistics are performed
Phases of clinical trials • Phase I – small group of people (20-80) • Phase II – larger group of people (100-300) • Phase III –large group of people (1000-3000) • Phase IV – marketing studies
Stem cell therapy and clinical trials • Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the first stem cell based therapy strategy that has gone into clinical trials
Stages to reach a marketable cell-based therapeutic product Research Animal tests Clinicaltrials Phase I, II, III, IV Marketable product Production Market research
