What are Clinical Trials?

Clinical Trials are highly regulated medical research studies performed in human participants to answer specific scientific questions. In drug development, these studies are used to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a drug. With these clinical trials, new treatments or new uses for existing drugs can be studied, and various clinical trials must be completed and have good results before a drug can be marketed. However, carrying out a clinical trial is not easy. They require a lot of preparation before being run, as well as a large financial investment and time. Most of all, they require willing participants. Thanks to this type of research, as a society, we have access to drugs that are effective when treating a wide range of diseases.
