Clinical Trial Operations Overview

The AbbVie Excel Externship in Clinical Trial Operations serves as a key talent pipeline for our Clinical Trial Operations AbbVie Internship Program. Externship participants are strongly considered for Internship opportunities within Clinical Trial Operations for the following year.

Clinical Trials are required before a new compound can be available for use by patients. A clinical study in human volunteers is conducted to answer specific health questions: Is it safe? Does it work? Is it better than what is currently offered to patients?

AbbVie’s Data and Statistical Sciences (DSS) is also a key player in this work, ensuring clinical data of the highest quality and fit-for-purpose analytics and analyses to support the progress of AbbVie’s development pipeline.
