Özet:

For new drugs, medical devices, and other treatment modalities to be of benefit to humans, their safety and efficacy must be demonstrated before they are widely used. For this purpose, clinical studies have been carried out with the participation of volunteers in order to obtain scientific information. A good working knowledge and command of current legislation are required in order to design clinical studies in accordance with ethical principles, to ensure the safety of the participating volunteers, to obtain approval from the relevant centers for the study to be conducted and to interpret and determine the validity of the results. There are many regulations and legislations for this purpose in our country, and researchers are expected to comply with these regulations and be trained in these fields. This evaluation aims to present the clinical research process in Türkiye with the current situation. Considering the population of our country, its geostrategic location and its potential in health services, the number of clinical studies that are not at the expected level will reach the expected level with the increase in well-equipped research centers, the presence of regulations with international norms on clinical research, the presence of registration centers in accordance with international standards, the increase in the number of trained researchers and qualified physicians.
