What’s a clinical trial?

Prof. Jonathan Cook, Head of OCTRU Statistics Team

Wednesday 4^th September, 1:00-1:30pm

This talk will provide a short introduction to clinical trials starting with the surprising difficulty in defining them.  I will give a brief overview of the history of clinical trials, and how they have changed and developed over the last 100 years. The basic types (phases) of clinical trials will be reviewed using examples, why they differ will be considered along with their key features.
