Introduction. The formation and development of modern evidence-based medicine is not possible without clinical studies with the participation of humans as subjects. The methodology of such experiments is based on careful selection of subjects based on the so-called eligibility criteria – parameters which form the optimal patient group for studying the therapeutic properties of a particular drug based on the science community’s expectations.
