Clinical trials are indispensable to ensure that new drugs, which have never existed before, can be used safely by as many patients as possible. New drugs are now available in the market through clinical trials to confirm their efficacy and safety. In other words, without clinical trials, a drug could not be created. Only through the cooperation of patients, medical institutions, and pharmaceutical companies can new drugs be created that can be used safely.
Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with the law and are based on reviews and examinations by many experts at various stages. Informed consent" (explanation and consent) to patients is one of them. Patients can decide whether or not to participate in a clinical trial of their own volition.
