Abstract

This is part eight of The Evidence Space episode ' Clinical trials when and how to demonstrate the performance of technology on patients'. with guests Dr Adam M Hill and Jeff Ventimiglia.

Examining the role of clinical trials in building confidence in new devices, diagnostics and drugs.

In this week's episode of The Evidence Space, we tackle the topic of clinical trials. Clinical trials are often used to show the effectiveness of treatments such as drugs or surgical procedures. But how and when are clinical trials necessary to show that new technologies for health and care deliver the results that they claim? We spoke with Dr Adam M Hill and Jeff Ventimiglia to discuss the use of clinical trials, the different approaches needed for the type of trial, and building regulatory confidence.
