Clinical trial agreements govern the performance of research studies conducted on human subjects. Academic institutions and hospital facilities are interested in participating in clinical trials for the prestige associated with being a renowned research facility. For the physician-investigators, publishing the results of an important study, helping to pioneer emergent medical science, or developing new intellectual property can be a tremendous boon to their careers. And of course, the pharmaceutical and medical device companies stand to earn billions of dollars if they can get a new product to market. Given the scope of interest in participating in the clinical trial process, an expertise in legal issues relating to clinical trials represents an important niche in health law practice.
