Human Clinical Trials

Meaning

Human clinical trials are systematic, meticulously planned research studies involving human participants designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and optimal dosing of new medical interventions, including novel drugs, devices, or hormonal replacement regimens. These trials are conducted in a sequential, phased manner (Phase I through IV) to gather robust, evidence-based data. They represent the essential bridge that translates basic scientific discoveries into validated, safe, and effective clinical practice for patient care.
