Clinical trials are conducted by doctors to test whether a new drug, a new prevention strategy, or a new screening test is safe and effective in people. A clinical trial may be known by a variety of names, such as clinical study, research protocol, or simply medical research.
At Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, our scientists and clinicians work closely together to improve the standard of care through the integration of clinical trials into clinical practice. We believe the more you know about clinical trials, the more informed your decision about whether to participate can be.
Here you can learn about the clinical trial process and the relationship of clinical trials to research and treatment.
