Clinical Trials
Healthcare and Medical
Clinical trials are research studies conducted with human volunteers to test the safety and effectiveness of new medical treatments, drugs, or devices, typically progressing through Phase I (safety), Phase II (efficacy), Phase III (large-scale confirmation), and Phase IV (post-market surveillance) stages. They are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, or government agencies and are tightly regulated to protect participants. Successful trials provide the evidence needed for regulatory approval by agencies like the FDA or EMA.
