Clinical trials
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study in human volunteers that helps determine whether investigational vaccines, medicines, or new uses for existing vaccines and medicines are safe and work well.
Medical advances can only happen through the efforts of many people, especially the patients who volunteer for clinical trials. They are our partners in research.
