Clinical Trials Day 2025: a journey inside a clinical trial

To mark Clinical Trials Day 2025, Angelini Pharma has created an animated video infographic that takes viewers on a journey through the key steps and roles involved in a clinical trial.

Celebrated every year on May 20, Clinical Trials Day commemorates the first recorded clinical study by James Lind in 1747. This historic milestone laid the foundation for modern clinical research. Today, bringing a new treatment to patients requires a complex, collaborative ecosystem of professionals working across science, medicine, ethics, data, and regulation.

From concept to results: a team effort

The video highlights the different steps that make up a clinical trial – from initial concept and protocol design to participant enrollment, safety monitoring, data analysis, and results reporting. Each stage is presented through simple language and engaging visuals, showcasing the vital contributions of professionals such as the Sponsor, in the roles of Study Manager, Data Managers, Pharmacovigilance experts and many more, as well as Site Investigators.  Patients are at the heart of this process, as their participation and experience are crucial in ensuring the trial's success and the development of effective treatments.

By breaking down each role, the video sheds light on the often unseen teamwork that ensures clinical trials are both safe and scientifically sound.

A commitment to responsible innovation

Through this initiative, Angelini Pharma reaffirms its dedication to advancing medical research and ensuring transparency and safety throughout the clinical trial process.
