Where Clinical Trials are Conducted
Why are we Testing Drugs There?
Clinical trials are conducted to test drugs or therapeutic options for patients. Clinical trials are usually conducted at sites where the population is representative of the people who will use the intervention if it proves to be an improvement over the standard of care, whatever that might be.
