CLINICAL TRIALS (NON-THESIS)
Second Cycle Programmes
(Master's Degree)

D.1. General Information about Program

For using a product as a medicine or medical device on humans, this product first has to meet the international medical care standards, and also has to be approved by the local health authorities. The studies for achieving these aims should also show that these products have low adverse effect profile and high therapeutic effect. All types of trials under this concept are referred as clinical trials, and they have to be conducted according to international standards on humans.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â European Union (EU) defines clinical trials as ?all kinds of investigations carried out to investigate the clinical, pharmacological and / or other pharmacodynamic effects of the medical research product which is being investigated on voluntary human subjects, to identify, to verify the adverse effects and / or to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of these products in relation to their efficacy and safety?.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Continuous attempts are made to increase the quality and quantity of clinical trials. The necessity of structured training programs for these initiatives is an indisputable fact. In addition, the development of domestic products with clinical research has a strategic importance for our country. For this purpose, an experienced and trained workforce is needed. To date, this trained labor force has been welcomed by the research sponsors, and this non-thesis master's program aims to bring the training activities to the academy.
