What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that determines whether new treatments are safe and effective for humans. Clinical trials are strictly controlled to ensure the safety of the people taking part.

Who comes up with clinical trials?

Ideas for clinical trials usually come from researchers. After researchers test new therapies in the laboratory and in animal studies, the treatments with the most promising results are moved into clinical trials. During a trial, more and more information is gained about a new treatment, its risks and how well it may or may not work.
