A clinical trial is a supervised research study where doctors and scientists evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new medical treatment. In clinical trials, volunteers receive the investigational treatment and are monitored by researchers who collect data on the treatment's potential benefits and risks. Clinical trials are essential for ensuring patient safety and improving current healthcare options.
