- Abstract
Clinical trials are a dominant force in the field of clinical medicine and play a crucial role in informing global clinical practice. They utilize powerful concepts such as randomization, blinding, and statistical analysis to assess the safety and effectiveness of interventions. While clinical trials have some controversies, they have delivered significant advancements in treatments and have saved countless lives. Clinical trial networks have emerged as a valuable tool for collaboration among researchers, institutions, and key players in the research process. These networks address challenges such as patient recruitment, variability in processes, translation of research findings, and costs. They facilitate collaboration, standardize protocols, optimize resource utilization, and enhance the external validity of study findings. Despite some barriers, clinical trial networks represent a significant advancement in medical research and are crucial for the future of clinical trials.
