România are 2,44 studii clinice active la 100.000 de locuitori, ceea ce o plasează pe locul 25 din 28 la nivel european: Summitul Român pentru Cercetare Clinică, ediția a II-a, cere predictibilitate, specialiști și încredere

The second Romanian Summit on Clinical Research highlighted the growth of active clinical studies in Romania, with 465 studies in 2026, yet only 9 are non-commercial. A significant portion of the population lives far from research centers, and there are disparities in access to clinical trials. The event gathered stakeholders to discuss improving Romania's clinical research landscape, emphasizing education and partnerships. Despite progress, Romania still lags behind other European countries in study density and investigator numbers. Patient awareness of clinical trials remains low, with many not discussing options with their doctors.
