Patient Treatment Innovations

Clinical research trials serve as the avenue to allow these treatments and medications to eventually reach the public. Clinical trials involve human volunteer patients, allowing them to receive investigational treatments- a new drug or device. Trials are closely monitored by specialized physicians and are the primary way researchers can evaluate safety, efficacy, benefits and effectiveness of new treatments.
