What is a Clinical Trial? Transcript
Cooper: "What is a clinical trial?" Dr. Theo: "Clinical trials are studies in which patients volunteer to test new drugs or devices. Doctors will use clinical trials to learn whether a new treatment works and it's safe for people. Now, of course, these trials are needed to develop new treatments for all kinds of diseases all the way from mild through life-threatening."
