title: Company sponsored clinical research--it can be trusted.
abstract: Clinical research provides the basis for product claims in company literature, in submissions to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and in publications. Checks and balances before, during, and after research which safeguard the public are 1) regulatory control of clinical studies by FDA; 2) internal company procedures governing the conduct of clinical studies; and 3) peer and competitor review of published clinical results and product claims.
