Clinical Trials

What is a Clinical Trial? 

A clinical trial is a research study to answer specific questions about medications, vaccines, or new therapies. Clinical trials are used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are both safe and effective. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find treatments that work.

Participation in a clinical trial does not substitute for regular medical care. You are encouraged to discuss participation in clinical trials with your physician.
