Clinical trials are research studies in which new treatments - drugs, diagnostics, procedures, vaccines, and other therapies - are tested in people to see if they are safe and effective.
Clinical trials are strictly governed by National Institutes of Health structure and guidelines and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Good Clinical Practice (GCP) for the proper conduct of clinical research. For more information about NIH and FDA guidelines for clinical trials, please see ClinicalTrials.gov and FDA.
