Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. They aim to evaluate a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention's effectiveness and safety. Trials go through multiple phases: from initial testing for safety (Phase 1) to larger groups to confirm efficacy and monitor side effects (Phase 2 and 3) to post-market surveillance (Phase 4).Participating in a clinical trial often means regular check-ups with the research team. This ensures that the participant's health is continuously monitored. While there are inherent risks with any medical procedure, clinical trials are conducted under rigorous standards to prioritize participant safety and well-being.
