What are Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials are carefully controlled studies that allow doctors to answer scientific questions about better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer.
Clinical trials compare the outcome of a new intervention with outcomes associated with the best known standard of care.
Patients in clinical trials are examined regularly by clinical research staff to check individual response and to ensure safety.
Clinical trials adhere to tightly regulated national standards that are strictly enforced to ensure quality of life and well-being.
People can withdraw from a clinical trial at any time without having to fear negative consequences.
