  • Economic Impact of Clinical Trials in Nebraska
    Developing Cures, Creating Jobs Pharmaceutical clinical trials in NEBRASKA Executive Summary This report shows how biopharmaceutical research companies continue to be vitally important to the economy and patient health in Nebraska. Since 2004, biopharmaceutical research companies have conducted or are conducting nearly 3,000 clinical trials of new medicines in Nebraska in collaboration with clinical research centers and hospitals. These clinical trials have investigated or are investigating some of Nebraska’s biggest health care challenges, including asthma, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Executive SummaryClinical trials in NEBRASKA CLINICAL TRIALS IN NEBRASKA ARE A VITAL PART OF THE FDA DRUG APPROVAL PROCESS In the development of new medicines, clinical trials are conducted to prove therapeutic safety and effectiveness and compile the evidence needed for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve new treatments. Clinical tests of new drugs are conducted in three phases and, on average, account for nearly seven of the more than 10 years it takes to bring a new drug from development to patients. Clinical trials are responsible for more than half of the $2.6 billion average cost of developing one new innovative medicine. All clinical trials must be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in advance; an independent committee of physicians, statisticians, local community advocates and others to ensure a trial is ethically conducted and patient rights are protected.
