value for money. Brands and brand values will play a leading role
in this process, as has been seen with products such as Prozac and

Fundamentals of Clinical Trials
by Lawrence M. Friedman, Curt D. Furberg and David L. Demets
The randomized control clinical trial has become the gold
standard scientific method for the evaluation of pharmaceuticals,
biologics, devices, procedures and diagnostic tests. This trial
design has been successfully used in both therapeutic and disease
prevention trials. It is superior to alternative designs by

disease areas including cardiology, opthalmology, cancer and AIDS.
While the specifics of using the randomized control design for a
specific intervention and disease may differ, the basic
fundamentals still apply in developing the study protocol and
operational procedures.
