Clinical trials offer hope and an opportunity to find better treatment. A clinical research study is a specifically targeted medical study. These studies are carefully designed to make sure investigational medications meet FDA standards for safety and effectiveness. Voluntary study participants take investigational medications under the supervision of physicians, also called principal investigators and advanced clinical research professionals.

Most clinical research studies have unique guidelines used to determine who is eligible to participate. These guidelines usually include a participant’s gender, age, type of condition, medical history, and current health.

Clinical research studies help develop and evaluate new solutions to health problems. Some voluntary study participants receive new investigational medications. Without clinical research studies, new medications would simply not be possible.

Research studies are conducted to advance human knowledge of medications. To be approved for use in the United States, every medication must first be tested and proven to be safe and effective through clinical research studies. Some currently approved drugs may need additional research studies to prove their safety and effectiveness in treating conditions other than those for which they were first approved.
