About Clinical Research Trials
A clinical trial is a research study in human volunteers that is carefully designed and monitored to answer specific questions about investigational drugs or devices.
The health of millions has been improved because of advances in science and technology, and the willingness of thousands of individuals who take part in clinical research. The role of volunteer subjects as partners in clinical research is crucial in the quest for knowledge that will improve the health of future generations.
Patients benefit from:
- Access to cutting edge technologies that are otherwise not available.
- Increased patient monitoring by healthcare provider.
- Additional tests and study-related medical care, which is generally provided at no cost.
