MSD is committed to clinical research, and your collaboration is the key. Your relationships with your patients are what help bridge the gap between education and interest when patients are considering clinical trial options.
Clinical Trials
Healthy volunteers play an important role in our research by helping us understand typical body responses to a potential new treatment. Comparing these responses with those of patients who have specific health conditions allows researchers to identify important differences. Without healthy volunteers, many medical breakthroughs simply wouldn’t be possible.
Our research pipeline gives a brief overview of clinical trials and reflects quarterly information.
If you are interested in becoming a research investigator or are currently conducting research, consider joining the Investigator Databank. The databank is a global collaboration between pharmaceutical companies where investigators can share information, lower administrative burdens, and become more visible to research sponsors.
