What are clinical research studies?
Clinical research studies, also called clinical trials, test medical treatments, interventions, and procedures in people to measure their safety, efficacy, and side effects. New therapies reach patients through these studies.
- Participants
- People volunteer to help medical research, and some hope to benefit from an investigational treatment.
- Investigational products
- Trials may involve investigational drugs, medical devices, vaccines, procedures, or behavioral interventions.
- Phase I
- Assesses safety and dosage levels.
- Phase II
- Evaluates efficacy and further assesses safety.
- Phase III
- Compares the investigational product with standard treatments for overall effectiveness, safety, and side effects.
- Phase IV
- Monitors long-term safety and effectiveness in a broader population after the product is approved.
- Informed consent
- Before participating, you must understand the study's purpose, procedures, potential risks and benefits, and your rights as a participant.
- Regulatory oversight
- Trials follow strict ethical and scientific standards set by regulatory authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- Data and results
- Researchers collect and analyze data throughout the trial. Findings are shared through scientific publications, conferences, and regulatory submissions.
