CRO
CRO (Contract Research Organisation, also called Clinical Research Organisation) is a service organisation that provides support to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry as well as medical devices. CROs contribute to the development of new medicines that improve health and quality of life for patients.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are used to determine the safety and efficacy of new treatments in patients. The new treatment is tested in several stages and must be beneficial for patients to be accepted and marketed. A clinical trial cannot start without the approval of independent ethics committees and competent authorities.
