Objective:
To explore the various types and phases of clinical trials, the regulatory oversight, drug approval process, and implications of clinical trials for the oncology nurse.

The oncology nurse must work in concert with the clinical research team to protect patient safety and to produce accurate information for protocol requirements that will be used to evaluate whether a drug becomes approved or not by the US Food and Drug Administration.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Oncology nurses play a central role to the successful outcome of clinical research studies. Nurses must work in close collaboration with the clinical research teams for the successful completion and adherence of the clinical trial and to maintain the safety of the patient enrolled into clinical trial.
