In medicine, a clinical trial (synonyms: clinical studies, research protocols, medical research) is a research study.

Types of clinical trials


The most commonly performed clinical trials evaluate new drugs, medical devices, biologics, or other interventions to patients in strictly scientifically controlled settings, and are required for regulatory authority (in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration) approval of new therapies. Trials may be designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an experimental therapy, to assess whether the new intervention is better than standard therapy, or to compare the efficacy of two standard or marketed interventions. The trial objectives and design are usually documented in a Clinical trial protocol. In USA there is a 50% tax credit on clinical trials.

To be ethical, they must involve the full and informed consent of participating human subjects. They are closely supervised by appropriate regulatory authorities. All interventional studies must be approved by an ethics committee (in the USA, this body is the Institutional Review Board) before permission is granted to run the trial.
