Clinical Trials
Clinical Research
Clinical research is medical research involving people. There are two different types of research: ​
​​
-
Clinical trials are research studies performed on people focusing on a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention. These help researchers determine if a new treatment, such as a new drug, diet, or medical device (eg. implants, etc.), is safe and effective in people. Often, a clinical trial is used to figure out if a new treatment is more effective and/or less harmful than the current standard of care.

Non-interventional research is very important to pave the way for future clinical trials. These studies involve gathering information and collecting physiological and biomarker data, which are all essential to help understand the disease mechanism and to develop new treatments.
