Clinical Trials are medical research involving human subjects. Clinical Trials evaluate medical, surgical, or behavioral interventions to determine if a novel treatment is safe and effective. There are four phases of Clinical Trial testing used to test the new treatment, determine the most effective dosage, and ensure the adverse effects do not outweigh the medical benefits.
