Ethics of the Clinical Trial


Clinical trials though essential to the medical world should fallow some ethics to continue their progress. The medical trial should be designed with the social value. It needs to answer the significant question that adds value to the society. The answer provided the research team should justify asking people to accept certain risks for others. The study should be designed with clear scientific objective valid and feasible methods. The study should be directed towards the clear objective using accepted principals and methods and reliable practices.

There should be a right mix of the volunteers in the study to make the outcome work in the reality. Favorable risk benefit ratio should be established in the study and the benefits enjoyed by the volunteer should outweigh the risks handled by the volunteers. The study should be ethically accepted by the independent review committee before its commencement. Informed consent should be obtained from the participants of the study before they undergo the clinical trial. The privacy of the participants in the clinical trial should be highly protected.
