Clinical Research is a systematic study for new drugs in human subjects to generate data for discovering or verifying the clinical, pharmacological (including pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic) or adverse effects with the objective of determining safety and efficacy of a new drug. These are carried out prior to the release of the medicine in the market.These trials are undertaken at various stages and studies are conducted after the launch of a new product to monitor safety and side effects during large-scale use.
