![]() In an observational study, investigators assess health outcomes in groups of participants according to a protocol or research plan. Note: Some people who are not eligible to participate in a clinical trial may be able to get experimental drugs or devices outside of a clinical trial through an expanded access program. These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For example, investigators may give a drug or treatment to participants who have high blood pressure to see whether their blood pressure decreases.Ĭlinical trials used in drug development are sometimes described by phase. The investigators try to determine the safety and efficacy of the intervention by measuring certain outcomes in the participants. When a new product or approach is being studied, it is not usually known whether it will be helpful, harmful or the same as available alternatives (including no intervention). Some clinical trials compare interventions that are already available to each other. These interventions may be medical products, such as drugs or devices, procedures or changes to participants’ behavior, for example, diet.Ĭlinical trials may compare a new medical approach to a standard one that is already available or to a placebo that contains no active ingredients or no intervention. In a clinical trial (also called an interventional study), participants receive specific interventions according to the research plan or protocol created by the investigators. There are two main types of clinical studies: clinical trials and observational studies. eCollection 2020 Oct.A clinical study involves research using human volunteers (also called participants) that is intended to add to medical knowledge.
