For those of you who are not very familiar with the clinical trials industry, medications are not just developed overnight. Drug companies spend millions of dollars and decades getting a potential drug from being an idea to an actual medication that a physician can prescribe you. In this video I talk about how a potential medication goes from being an idea to a reality. I talk about theoretical research, animal studies, and then the 4 different phases of human studies. Hopefully this video can shed some light on why clinical trials are necessary in the first place.
