Popis: At one time the process of testing new medicines was the province mainly of physicians in teaching hospitals, but this is no longer so: physicians in district hospitals and in general practice are increasingly involved because they are caring for the patients eligible for the clinical trials. In this article we review briefly the early stages in the development of a new drug, or 'new chemical entity' (NCE), and consider especially those aspects which are important to the physician participating in that process.
