Clinical trials are generally considered to be biomedical or health-related research studies in human beings that follow a predefined protocol. A clinical trial is conducted to answer questions about a certain disease, to test new treatments, or to investigate new ways of using known treatments.

In many cases, the therapies and drugs investigated in clinical trials are not approved by Regulatory Agencies (such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States), and the benefits and risks of taking the treatment are not well known. Clinical trials are used to determine whether treatments are safe and effective for a particular disorder. Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own healthcare, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research.

All clinical trials have guidelines about who can participate which are based on factors such as age, gender, type of disease, etc. These factors are used to identify appropriate participants for each trial and keep them safe, and also help ensure that questions being studied can be adequately answered. Some research studies seek participants with illnesses or conditions to be studied in the clinical trial, while others need healthy participants.
