Principles and Practice of Clinical Research
The second edition of this innovative work again provides a unique perspective on the clinical discovery process by providing input from experts within the NIH on the principles and practice of clinical research. Molecular medicine, genomics, and proteomics have opened vast opportunities for translation of basic science observations to the bedside through clinical research. As an introductory reference it gives clinical investigators in all fields an awareness of the tools required to ensure research protocols are well designed and comply with the rigorous regulatory requirements necessary to maximize the safety of research subjects. Complete with sections on the history of clinical research and ethics, copious figures and charts, and sample documents it serves as an excellent companion text for any course on clinical research and as a must-have reference for seasoned researchers.

The book touches nearly every topic in clinical research, with major stress on research ethics and regulations. However, the US-centered background of the book makes it more complicated. Thus, for international readers, they may find it annoying. The videos that accompanies the book (you can find them on Youtube NIHvidecast channel) makes it more thorough. For my fellow medical students, I would NOT recommend reading the book; but, I recommend watching the videos only.
There are many other to-the-point books that cover this field.
