How should clinical trials be improved? Ken Getz, a senior fellow at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, has been thinking up answers to this question for two decades. In 2003, Getz took on a new challenge when he launched the Center for Information & Study on Clinical Research, a nonprofit focused on providing education and outreach on clinical research to the public. Cassandra Willyard asked Getz for his thoughts on trial recruitment, financial conflicts of interest and keeping trial participants safe.
