ABSTRACT: India is poised to become the largest hub of clinical research in the world. Many national and international pharmaceutical companies are already conducting or planning to initiate clinical research in India. A pharmaceutical company conducts extensive preclinical research, that is, testing of a compound in animal and human cells. If this stage of testing gives positive results, the company provides this data to the regulatory body requesting its approval to begin testing the drug in humans called clinical trial. Clinical research is one of the major steps in the development of new drugs to address disease. All drugs should be undergoing different phases of clinical trials to safeguard mankind. The present content underlines the various aspects of clinical research.
