What are Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials examine new diagnostic procedures and therapeutic approaches to determine how they impact patient outcomes. Clinical trials enlist volunteers to test a variety of medical interventions, including drugs, cells, and other biological products, surgeries, radiological procedures, equipment, behavioural therapies, and preventative care. Before they can start, clinical investigations must be properly planned, assessed, and completed. All age groups, including children, are welcome to participate in clinical trials.
