Expert Insights on Clinical Research
Clinical Research is the study of experimental therapies in human volunteers. Also referred to as clinical trials, clinical research is often funded by the NIH and/or pharmaceutical companies and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration within the United States. The purpose of clinical research is to study the safety and efficacy of therapies against a control such as a placebo or an existing, approved therapy.
