What is a Clinical Trial?

The US Department of Health and Human Services defines a clinical trial as a research study conducted to evaluate a medical procedure or medical product, such as a drug. Not all studies at the University of Arizona involve drugs or interventions; some studies use surveys or evaluate medical records to find new and better ways to help people. Other studies recruit healthy subjects, or controls, to better evaluate and compare their results with those of non-healthy subjects.
