Looked it up, since I was curious, and surprisingly, the US federal government doesn't actually oversee the clinical trials, though the FDA does audit them to make sure they are correctly following procedure. They at least are run by independent organizations from the pharmaceutical companies. Still, I'd expected the process to be a bit...better than that.
