What is a clinical trial?

What is meant by a clinical trial?

A clinical trial, or clinical study, is an investigation into the effects of a medicine. It can also be an evaluation of another type of treatment, such as a surgical method, radiation therapy, physiotherapy, special diets, medical devices, and more.

Clinical trials for medicines are conducted either at a dedicated research unit like CTC or within healthcare settings such as health centers or hospital clinics. The trial is often carried out on behalf of the company that developed the medicine, in collaboration with the responsible doctor and other staff.
