FDA Promotes Clinical Trial Innovation

By: Hilary Marston, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer and Kevin Bugin, PhD, Deputy Director of Operations in the Office of New Drugs, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research

marston graphicBreakthroughs in science and technology are advancing innovation in more areas of medicine, providing novel treatment options for patients. The scientific community has a deepening understanding of disease and human biology, and of the enormous potential afforded through new technologies.

The same spirit of innovation is enhancing the design and conduct of clinical research. As the FDA observes Clinical Trials Day, we reflect on the progress made and the widespread efforts underway to advance clinical trial innovation. This progress has been possible because of clinical trial participants and their families, health care professionals, medical product developers, federal partners and the entire clinical research community.
