What are clinical trials?

Clinical trials are research studies performed in people that are aimed at evaluating a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention. They are the primary way that researchers find out if a new treatment is safe and effective in people.

Many clinical trials are conducted to learn if a new treatment is more effective and/or has less harmful side effects than the standard treatment. Other clinical trials test ways to find a disease early, sometimes before there are symptoms. Still others test ways to prevent a health problem. A clinical trial may also look at how improve quality of life for people living with a life-threatening disease or a chronic health problem. Clinical trials sometimes study the role of caregivers or support groups.

Clinical trials are part of a long, careful process that typically involves several phases over many years before a new treatment, drug, or intervention is approved for use. Learn more about clinical trials here.
