Clinical trial designs vary considerably, impacting study execution, patient recruitment, endpoints, and treatment delivery. Here’s a brief summary of some common designs: First-In-Human (FIH) Studies These are the initial human trials for a new drug, procedure, or treatment, focusing primarily on safety. Cohort Studies These observational studies follow a group of individuals over an extended period to assess risk factors associated with developing specific conditions. Case-Control Studies These studies compare individuals with a particular disease or condition (cases) to similar individuals without the disease (controls) to identify potential risk factors.
