50% of clinical research by Spain’s pharma industry is in its early stages

Clinical research in its early stages relates to clinical trials of drug development in its initial steps. Its importance is high, given that it allows patients to access innovative treatments and researchers the chance to gain experience in the development of medicines, said Spain’s trade group Farmaindustria in a web posting.

It is remarkable that we are experiencing a growing trend of this activity in Spain - reflected in the Guide of Clinical Research Units in Early Stages, presented by Farmaindustria in Valencia on Friday -  a public event that brought together more than 200 representatives from the public and private sectors in biomedical research.
