Abstract: Clinical trials are unknown to most people in Romania. Associated most of the time with innovative and advanced medicines for patients. Research of every new and innovative methods and drugs in medicine have a great impact economically, socially and medically. The Covid 19 pandemic, which has hit every part of the globe hard, has also meant for Romania and people to rediscover new words: RNA vaccine, study stages, vaccine efficiency, adverse effects. But all this was ideologically covered up with a lot of prejudices and preconceived ideas. Difficult to combat, every misconception found its place in the patient’s mind and succeeded, in addition to the resistance to getting vaccinated. Mass-media become a “specialist” in everything that modern medicine means and applied for the common good. The methodology of this research is based on the qualitative evaluation of the specialist literature and the analysis of existing data series in clinical trial management. The results show that clinical trials contribute to global sustainability and the bottlenecks developed by certain pandemic periods. Through this article we have tried to penetrate beyond prejudices and unfounded opinions most of the time.
