摘要
Clinical trials played a dominant and expanding role in the evaluation of new treatments during the decade of the 1980s. There were major improvements in the quality of clinical trials in many medical fields. There were also important developments in the methodology of designing, monitoring, conducting, analysing, reporting and interpreting clinical trials. This paper attempts to review some of these developments. A comprehensive review is beyond the abilities of any one individual. Consequently, this paper attempts to offer a broad stroke description of this area and to highlight specific topics of importance based on my particular experience. An extensive, but non-comprehensive bibliography is included to provide entry points to the literature of methodologic developments for clinical trials in the 1980s.
