THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLINICAL TRIALS, CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS AND CLINICAL PERFORMANCE STUDIES

  • EU MDR 2017/745 defines clinical investigation as a systematic study involving human subjects to evaluate the safety or performance of a medical device;
  • EU IVDR 2017/746 defines clinical performance study as a study done to establish or confirm the clinical performance of a device, which is the ability of a device to produce results that are related to a particular clinical condition, physiological or pathological process or state, and the target population and intended user;
  • ICH E6 defines clinical trial as an investigation in human subjects intended to discover or verify the clinical, pharmacological and/or other pharmacodynamic effects of an investigational product(s), and/or to identify any adverse reactions to an investigational product(s), and/or to study absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of an investigational product(s) with the object of ascertaining its safety and/or efficacy.
