Clinical trial

A clinical trial is a type of research that tests whether a new medicine, treatment, or medical approach is safe and works well for people. It’s like a carefully controlled experiment with real patients to find better ways to treat or prevent diseases. Clinical trials help discover better ways to treat diseases and improve healthcare.
