The safety and rights of participants in clinical trials are protected through various measures, including:
- Informed Consent: Participants are provided with detailed information about the trial, its potential risks, and benefits. - Institutional Review Boards (IRBs): These independent committees review and monitor clinical trials to ensure ethical conduct. - Data Safety Monitoring Boards (DSMBs): These boards oversee the progress of a trial and can recommend modifications or termination if necessary.
