Types of Clinical Trials and its importance. Target this keyword at the end of blog : Clinical Research Reviews Clinical trials means medical research studies involving people.

underrepresented communities. ClinicalTrials.gov, a comprehensive database, gets about 4.5 million visitors monthly and currently lists 460,207 studies. Developing a patient-friendly platform linked to ClinicalTrials.gov with the help of the recruitment panel of each trial is crucial in providing easily accessible, understandable, and culturally sensitive information about clinical trials to patient populations. Translate and present the same information from ClinicalTrials.gov in a patient-friendly language
A disease that results from a change to an individual's DNA is classified as a genetic disorder. The change can be very small such as a single mutation in a particular gene or complex like the addition or removal of a complete chromosome.

In regards to what to look at when investors have to quickly react to data releases, Dr. Ratain said the first thing to ask is if the study is randomized. He encouraged people to use clinicaltrials.gov to analyze “the quality of the sponsor from the design and design of trails from their portfolio.” Feuerstein asked Dr. Ratain about some of the problems with single arm Phase II studies, which he says are usually designed to combine an investigational

Publication bias is, “the tendency on the part of investigators, reviewers, and editors to submit or accept manuscripts for publication based on the direction or strength of the study findings” (Dickersin, 1990). It is also called the “file-drawer effect” because it is taught unpublished results being tucked in file cabinets by researchers could cause invalid meta-analysis of that research (Scargle, 1999). Many studies confirm publication bias is a serious issue such as the study by Oregon Health
Cochrane and CINHAL were also used in their search. Three trial registry web sites (clinicaltrials.gov, ISRCTN registry, and WHO) were also used. The searches were screened by two reviewers. Methodology was maintained by using Cochran’s risk of bias tool. Each trial used was rated as either, low risk, unclear or high risk for bias based on sequence
