Clinical trials are research studies involving patients, which compare a new or different type of treatment with the best treatment currently available (if there is one). Some clinical trials also look at possible ways to prevent illnesses, for example by testing new vaccines. No matter how promising a new drug or treatment may appear during tests in a laboratory, it must go through clinical trials before its benefits and risks can really be known.
Trials aim to find out if treatments used in health care:
* Are safe
* Have side effects
* Work better than the treatment used currently
* Help people feel better
It is now widely agreed that a properly run clinical trial is the best way to assess whether a treatment is, or is not, safe and effective.
The Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) carries out clinical trials in health care. We use trials to look at the best ways to:
* Prevent illnesses, such as HIV/AIDS
* Diagnose illnesses – for example by using scans and blood tests
* Treat illnesses – for example by testing the effectiveness and safety of new drugs
* Help people control their symptoms
