Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are research studies which are required to test new medications before they are approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Only after this approval are new medications made available by prescription by a licensed physician. A large number of studies have to be completed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of new medications. The FDA has specific requirements on how the studies are designed and conducted to prove the information in a scientific and ethical manner. Each individual trial has to be submitted to the FDA before it is allowed to begin.
