A clinical trial is a research study in human volunteers to answer specific health questions. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the safest and fastest way to find new, effective treatments, and new ways to improve health.

Clinical trials are carefully designed, reviewed and completed, and need to be approved before they can start. 

People of all ages can take part in clinical trials, including children.  All drugs must be tested before they can be prescribed.
