This paper reviews current trends in clinical research. Clinical research can be defined as the study of humans or groups of humans. In the field of clinical research, Korea ranks 7th in the world. To improve healthcare policy and clinical strategy for diagnosis and treatment, scientific evidence based on clinical research is needed. To increase the transparency of clinical research, all clinical research should be registered before starting. To register clinical research, the World Health Organization (WHO) established International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention established Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS). CRIS is approved by the WHO as a primary registry and meets the criteria of ICTRP. The United Kingdom and the United States established National Institute for Health Research and Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute respectively to fund clinical research publicly. The United States ‘ClinicalTrials. gov’ is the most well-known web clinical research registry service. Industry led research has therefore, governments of advanced countries have increased public research funds.
