The Role of Pharmacovigilance in Clinical Trials Clinical trials are used everywhere to discover a chemical or biological compound's safety and efficacy concerning its actions on marks or a known disease process. Pharmacovigilance drives with clinical trials that provide data on the risks and advantages of the drug. ​Pharmacovigilance in clinical research tries to discover whether the benefits exceed the risks; if they do, drug manufacturers take steps to obtain approval to market the new drug.

Trials are strictly monitored by an investigator and the pharmaceutical company involved in developing a medicinal product. However, the process also benefits from an independent review by drug safety firms. Pharmacovigilance matches this process; to provide an extra security level to assure those safe & effective products touch patients. As part of the global healthcare, drug developers, manufacturers, pharmaceutical systems, and investigators are responsible for implementing the best possible care for the patients and consumers worldwide. Phase I, II, and III clinical trials are needed before a drug company can apply for a new medicine's market authorization. They are responsible for the research's conduct and then feed it back to the sponsor (the pharma company). During clinical trials, the analyst gathers and analyzes serious adverse events (SAEs), finding whether the drug in question caused the SAEs. If they conclude that the adverse side effects were causal, they are categorized as adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The analyst gives this data to the pharmaceutical company responsible for the drug's R&D (research and development). It is imposed by the
