Regulations governing drug trials in Turkey.
The ethical issues involved in drug trials using human subjects have become a challenge to the investigators involved. The needs of the drug industry and the increase in the number of such trials have added to these problems. In Turkey activity in the field is increasing. The legal provisions governing the conduct of drug trials in humans are progressive and improvement is largely directed towards better trial design and protection of volunteers.
