A clinical trial is a research study that involves human subjects. The purpose of a clinical trial is to find out if an experimental drug, therapy, medical device, lifestyle change, or test will help treat, find, or prevent a disease. A clinical trial may also compare experimental treatments or tests to those already available in order to determine which one is safer or more effective.
