In recent years, clinical research has been improving by leaps and bounds. Although it is true that there were a couple of years in which the development of new molecules was noticeably reduced due to the uncertainty of the change in patent protection time, today clinical research has improved its levels of global investment, especially with the entry of the Asian continent. The field of clinical research is little known, even among healthcare professionals, but it plays a critical role in driving medical progress and improving global health. Clinical research is the foundation of modern healthcare and drives innovation and medical advances that can change people’s lives. Whether scientific research pioneers new treatments or improves existing treatments, the importance of clinical research cannot be underestimated. The field of clinical research is dynamic and rapidly evolving. Therefore, keeping up to date with the latest trends and developments is essential for professionals in this field. As patients, healthcare providers, and pharmaceutical companies increasingly recognize the important role of evidence-based practice, the need for rigorous and ethical clinical research continues to grow. By systematically collecting data and evidence, clinical research contributes to the development of best practices and evidence-based guidelines, thereby shaping the standard of care for various medical conditions. The clinical research process is guided by rigorous scientific methods, ensuring that results are reliable and repeatable. Researchers follow strict protocols and ethical standards to protect the health of clinical trial participants and maintain the integrity of research results.
This commitment to methodological rigor and ethical behavior enhances the credibility and impact of clinical research on healthcare practice. This affects the entire spectrum of medical advances, from diagnostic tools to therapeutic interventions. These advances have expanded and improved the lives of countless patients, highlighting the profound impact of clinical research on global health outcomes. The Clinical Research creates the knowledge and tools so that healthcare professionals can understand better the diseases, prevent, cure or rehabilitate patients and in that way, improve health levels worldwide. During 2023, the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 55 new medications, presentations and indications, which are detailed below: Table 1. This is the result of years of research that manages to bear fruit for global benefit. This work continues and clinical trials continue.

According to the Global Data Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center, 22,338 clinical studies were initiated in 2023. The main indication was oncology, followed by the central nervous system. Of the trials initiated in 2023, the majority (36%) were Phase II trials. Also in 2023, 7,183 clinical trials ended, with 6,234 completing and 777 terminated [1-5]. During the first half of 2024, the FDA is already approving 21 new drugs and indications: Table 2.
My recognition to all the scientific and administrative staff in the field of clinical research, who carry out such commendable work and benefit the entire world with their efforts.
