Medical progress requires clinical research center.
In order to be able to treat diseases better through the development of new therapies, efficacy and safety for humans must be proven. Clinical trials are essential for this. Every clinical trial must be approved by the responsible ethics committee before it begins. Participation in the trial is voluntary. Your participation will potentially give you early access to new therapies that would not be available outside of the trial. Your participation in the trial can advance medical progress and improve the treatment of future patients.
