| | Clinical trial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The major difference between clinical trials and epidemiological studies is that, in clinical trials, the investigators manipulate the administration of a new intervention and measure the effect of that manipulation, whereas epidemiological studies only observe associations (correlations) between the treatments experienced by participants and their health status or diseases. | | | The most commonly performed clinical trials evaluate new drugs, medical devices, biologics, or other interventions to patients in strictly scientifically controlled settings, and are required for Food and Drug Administration approval of new therapies. | | | Trials may be designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an experimental therapy, to assess whether the new intervention is better than standard therapy, or to compare the efficacy of two standard or marketed interventions. |

| | FAQs about Novartis Clinical Trials |
| | Clinical trials (also called medical research and research studies) are used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are both safe and effective. | | | A clinical trial is a research study to answer specific questions about vaccines, new therapies or new ways of using known treatments. | | | Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. |

| | Handbook of Clinical Trial and Epidemiological Research Designs |
| | A clinical trial is an experiment conducted with patients as subjects. | | | PHASE 2 DRUG TRIAL: Phase 2 trials include controlled clinical studies conducted to evaluate the drugs effectiveness for a particular indication in patients with the disease or condition under study, and to determine the common short-term side effects and risks associated with the drug. | | | An important distinction in the purpose of clinical trials is that between therapeutic trials (comparing treatment methods) and prophylactic (or prevention) trials. |

| | There are clinical trials that test and develop new and improved ways to diagnose and treat cancer in people, prevent or alleviate treatment side effects, help prevent a recurrence of cancer or improve the comfort and quality of life of persons with cancer. | | | Clinical trials are important for the treatment of leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma (blood cancers) because they provide promising new treatment options and offer the hope of increased survival and/or improved quality of life. | | | Order or read online the Society's Fact Sheet on Clinical Trials for further information about clinical trials, including how trials are designed and questions to ask your doctor before searching for and/or enrolling in a clinical trial program. |

| | CancerGuide: Steve's Strategic Guide to the Clinical Trial System |
| | In an ethical Phase III trial, the evidence shouldn't favor one treatment to the degree that the outcome is a forgone conclusion, but it is still quite possible that a rational analysis of the trial in light of your values would conclude that one arm is more desirable. | | | This includes ensuring that trials do not seriously harm patients solely for the purpose of gathering research data, that the risks are appropriate considering the situation, and that patients who participate in a trial give their informed consent through a process which culminates in signing an informed consent document. | | | The alternative to a Phase I trial is not just another Phase I trial, but any other trials you are qualified for as well as any standard treatments which might be of value. |
