Understanding Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are important to ensure that people receive safe and effective treatments for their health conditions, from heart disease to headaches. They provide the means to develop new treatments that are more effective, safer than treatments already on the market or deliver the therapy via a different mechanism of action; they enable researchers to discover new therapeutic uses for currently available medications; and, they make it possible to develop innovative treatments for conditions that currently have no treatment.
