A clinical trial is a type of research study that tests how well new medical treatment works in patients.
The treatment, known as an 'intervention' may be a drug, vaccine, device, surgical procedure, behavioural therapy, dietary change or a diagnostic test.
Clinical trials investigate whether new treatments are safe and effective for you.
They help to establish any potential side effects and what the correct dosing of a new treatment should be. This lets doctors decide if an intervention is more effective and/or safer than pre-existing treatments.
Results from the clinical trials may provide information about whether the treatment could be effective in treating or preventing other illnesses.
