The clinical medical pharmacological research corresponds to the experimental application of specific drug in human beings. Such application aims to protect them from unacceptable adverse effects and its inefficiency when comparing with other possibilities, more efficient. Partnerships between the pharmaceutical industry and external researchers establish potential conflict of interest. Literature use for this work indicates that researches performed under the sponsorship of pharmaceutical industry have a high rate of favorable results, and the conflicts of interest represent gaps which may interfere the result. There are studies that compare the efficiency of different drugs, whereas others compare their costs. All results should be published, even when negative. The present work concludes that the private sector must sponsor the science in order to improve human beings, especially to avoid diseases. However, it must keep its engagement in sponsoring the research with any influence on its methods, results and application, for a respectful understanding of the dignity of a person.
