Outsourcing

Hi all! I would like to include a section on the outsourcing/globalization of clinical trials. With the globalization of clinical trials, there are ethical implications not included in the article. My user page has more info & some references. Thank you for the feedback!Mgregg21 (talk) 02:32, 10 February 2021 (UTC) — Preceding undated comment added 02:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

• There is significant content about outsourcing of clinical trials at the Contract Research Organization article, but a better cross-reference from here is likely a good thing. --02:30, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Analysis of clinical trials

We have an article on analysis, but it has had little attention and weak content for years. A student (in a project on osmosis) has been trying to edit that article this month, but the content and sourcing are poor. I have proposed a merger with this article as a section. 'Analysis' is a complex subject, requiring full-time statistical teams in clinical trial management, indicating a need for a substantial new section. Should we have a section here or develop a separate article on analysis? Zefr (talk) 14:22, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Per {{main}}:When a Wikipedia article is large, it is often written in summary style. This template is used after the heading of the summary, to link to the subtopic article that has been summarized., I, therefore, think it reasonable, in terms of Wikipedia's style, to have a section here and develop a separate article on analysis. --Euphemistically (talk) 15:40, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Agreeing with the above comment, and beginning a section with this edit. Analysis is a large complex topic, suggesting that additional content should be developed mainly on analysis of clinical trials. Zefr (talk) 21:31, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Regulation of clinical trials

Wondering if there would be support for addition of a section related to regulation of clinical trials, primarily by national health regulatory agencies. Thanks for your thoughts. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:32, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Future Additions Incoming!

Hi Wikipedia community! Some of my peers (@Jane2627 ) and I will be adding in some edits for a class assignment. We plan to include further insight on racial bias and the underrepresentation of diverse demographics in clinical trials. Looking forward to connecting with the community and will post more once we gather our resources. Barbara104 (talk) 23:45, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

Student edits are welcome, of course, but it's not appropriate to dump large sections of new content without a) talk page consensus, WP:CON, and b) sufficient class editorial review by fellow students and your instructor, Liliput000. Note also to Brianda (Wiki Ed).

The edit contained WP:MOS errors, unsourced opinions (WP:OR), and broken grammar in places. Consequently, I reverted your large edit today with Special:Diff/1350404441.

The clinical trial article is a high-importance article for clinical research, with thousands of page views per month, and deserves thorough review and editorial quality by other editors and your class, if sufficiently emphasized by your instructor. Zefr (talk) 19:42, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
