Case Report Form (CRF): What Is It And How To Write One?

Clinical trials refer to research studies with people as test subjects who are all volunteers. The trials involve testing and researching medical interventions such as surgical and radiological procedures, drugs, devices, preventive care, behavioral treatments, or biological products like cells. Essentially, researchers use trials to determine if a medicine, medication, or medical device, such as a pacemaker, is safe and effective for human use. Trials and research are essential parts of medicine. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves a clinical trial only after laboratory and animal tests are done. If the results of these tests are positive, testing for humans would be approved.
