Clinical Trials


What Are Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials or studies are medical research studies in which people participate as volunteers. Clinical Trials are a means of developing new treatments and medications for diseases and conditions. There are strict rules for clinical trials, which are monitored by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Some of the research studies at the Clinical Center involve promising new treatments that may directly benefit patients.
