An international centre for clinical trials has been established At MVR Cancer Centre & Research Institute Hospital not only to initiate clinicians in the concept of scientific and evidence-based medicine but also to address
burning medical and epidemiological questions in which the west is unlikely to have any interest. Scientific leads from laboratory ultimately need to be answered in human subjects in the form of a randomized clinical
trial. But, due to a lack of understanding as to how such a question should be addressed in a clinical setting and a lack of interaction between the clinician and the laboratory scientist, many important scientific
leads are lost by default. The scientific community, other funding agencies and ultimately patients may benefit from testing the efficacy of newly synthesized biological products such as engineered enzymes, genetic
materials and other substances emanating from laboratories. In the sphere of public health, where very large community initiatives are a norm, would benefit from having a centralized facility to conduct trials involving
thousands of subjects. The randomized clinical trial offers a unique opportunity to test these issues scientifically before they are sanctioned for routine health care.
