U članku su se pokušale razjasniti neke
opće činjenice i noviji aspekti kliničkih ispitivanja. Klasifikacijski
se klinička ispitivanja dijele na ona koja se baziraju
na fazama kliničkog razvoja lijeka i na ona vezana uz
tip i cilj studije. Između kliničkih ispitivanja po tipu ili po
fazama postoji niz dodirnih točaka, ali i razlika. Unatoč
sveprisutnom detaljnom obavještavanju bolesnika o ciljevima
i načinima provođenja istraživanja te neovisnim ocjenama
stručnih i etičkih načela u suvremenim istraživanjima i
dalje je prisutno više etičkih dilema o provođenju kliničkih
ispitivanja u psihijatriji.We have tried to explain some general facts and
newer aspects of clinical trials. Clinical trials are classified as
those based on the phases of clinical development of a particular
drug and as those based on the type and goal of the trial itself.

independent evaluations by professional and ethical principles in
current studies, several ethical dilemmas regarding the clinical trials
performance in psychiatry are still present
