Active Trials | Completed Trials | Postponed Trials | Discontinued Trials
Clinical trials sono experiments conducted usando human participants che seek to determine the value of a potenziali trattamento, such as a drug, dietary integratore o esercizio program. Most trials compare a trattato group of participants con a "control," o comparison, group, la quale receives an inert sostanza ("placebo") o a sham trattamento.
Many trials sono divided into phases, the first of la quale è solitamente quite small e almost always designed solamente to assess the safety dei new trattamento e come well it's tolerated. Phases 2 e 3 of a trial sono larger e address questions of effectiveness e dose.
The term "study" implies either a trial o a più generale research question under investigation, such as come molte persone con a certain set of sintomi have a particolare genetic change o come i genitori cope con raising un bambino con a disabilità.
