📌 Why We Celebrate International Clinical Trials Day

Each year on May 20th, the global clinical research community observes International Clinical Trials Day to commemorate the day when James Lind began what is considered the first clinical trial in 1747. Today, we remember this milestone not only as a historical event but as a continuing legacy of ethical, science-driven medical advancement.

It’s a day to honour the patients, researchers, Principal Investigators (PIs), and Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs) whose dedication drives every discovery from concept to cure.

👩‍⚕️ Honouring the Pillars of Clinical Research

🧑‍🔬 Principal Investigators (PIs): The Scientific Leaders

At the heart of every clinical study lies the Principal Investigator — ensuring that every protocol is followed ethically, data is accurate, and patient safety remains paramount. Their vision and medical leadership shape the quality and credibility of every trial.

👨‍⚕️ Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs): The Unsung Heroes

Our CRCs are the backbone of every successful trial. They manage day-to-day operations, build trust with patients, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain flawless documentation. They are the human connection between science and society.

❤️ Volunteers: The True Contributors

Clinical trials are not possible without the generosity of volunteers. Their willingness to participate in studies helps bring new treatments to life. They are the true pioneers — choosing hope not just for themselves, but for millions of others.
