What is a commercial clinical trial?
Commercial clinical trials are research studies funded by private sector organisations, such as pharmaceutical companies. They develop and test new medical products and treatments, including drugs, surgical procedures, and medical devices. Trials are often conducted within healthcare settings like the NHS, supported by NHS staff.
