A investigação clínica é uma atividade fundamental para o desenvolvimento do conhecimento e inovação na área da saúde, que resulta do trabalho articulado entre várias entidades e pode incidir sobre indivíduos saudáveis, doentes, ou apenas utilizar registos clínicos e pessoais.
São diversas e complexas as questões associadas à problemática dos ensaios clínicos, o contexto jurídico-legal, as instituições com competência para a sua execução, onde e como são realizados, qual a sua eficácia.
Portugal encontra-se na cauda da Europa em termos de realização de ensaios clínicos, quando comparado com países com áreas a populações semelhantes, como a Bélgica e a Holanda. Importa pois, por isso, elucidar acerca do panorama nacional nesta área.
Este trabalho pretende dar resposta à pergunta “Centros de Ensaios Clínicos: Realidade ou Ficção em Portugal?”. Ao longo da dissertação faz-se uma caraterização nacional atual em termos de participação das unidades hospitalares públicas e de universidades em ensaios clínicos. Analisa-se também a atividade de promoção de ensaios clínicos por parte da indústria farmacêutica.
Ao longo do trabalho poder-se-á verificar alguns resultados, como: as áreas terapêuticas da Cardiologia e da Oncologia são as mais estudadas em vários centros de ensaios clínicos, o IPO do Porto é a instituição com maior número de doentes incluídos em ensaios clínicos e em estudos observacionais e o financiamento dos ensaios clínicos é frequentemente originário de fontes privadas.
Pode-se concluir que existe, no campo da investigação, algum caminho a percorrer no panorama nacional, pois Portugal tem capacidade e qualidade, não só a nível de profissionais, bem como das suas organizações para realizar mais e melhor no campo da investigação clínica.
