Safety and efficacy refer to a medicine's ability to work without causing harmful side effects. Clinical trials are research studies testing new treatments on volunteers to gather this data. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversee and regulate these processes to ensure public health. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines ensure trials are conducted ethically and reliably. Research Ethics Committees and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) review study plans to protect participants. Pharmaceuticals are medicines, while biostatistics analyzes trial data. Toxicology assesses potential harmful effects, and medical device development (De) involves creating and testing health devices.
