Although there are many definitions of clinical trials, they are generally considered to be biomedical or health-related research studies in human beings that follow a predefined protocol.

ClinicalTrials.gov includes both interventional and observational types of studies. Interventional studies are those in which the research subjects are assigned by the investigator to a treatment or other intervention, and their outcomes are measured.

Observational studies are those in which individuals are observed and their outcomes are measured by the investigators.

The process depends on the kind of trial being conducted. We will check your health at the beginning of the trial, give specific instructions for participating, monitor you carefully during the tests, and stay in touch after the trial is completed.

Some clinical trials involve more tests and doctor visits than you would normally have for an illness or condition. For all types of trials, you’ll work closely with our research team. Clinical trial participation is most successful when the protocol is carefully followed and there is frequent contact with the research staff.
