Rare disease research and trial design
Learn an overview of the purpose and structure of clinical research by devling into what’s included in pre-clinical research and clinical research.
To help you understand the basics of clincial research, we’ll explore key definitions, such as blinded clinical trials and randomisation, before moving into the ethical considerations to be aware of when it comes to clinical trials, such as evaluating the risk-benefit ratio and informed consent.
Clinical trials for rare diseases do come with unique challenges, so our guide outlines those hurdles and provides clear solutions to help you overcome them.
