What is a Clinical Trial?


A clinical trial is a research study conducted by medical professionals to assess the safety, efficacy, and potential side effects of a new medical treatment, intervention, or procedure. It is an essential step in the process of bringing new medications, therapies, or medical devices to the market and improving patient care.
