Design and Interpretation of Clinical Trials
84,976 recent views
Clinical trials are experiments designed to evaluate new interventions to prevent or treat disease in humans.
The interventions evaluated can be drugs, devices (e.g., hearing aid), surgeries, behavioral interventions (e.g., smoking cessation program), community health programs (e.g. cancer screening programs) or health delivery systems (e.g., special care units for hospital admissions).
We consider clinical trials experiments because the investigators rather than the patients or their doctors select the treatment the patients receive.
Results from randomized clinical trials are usually considered the highest level of evidence for determining whether a treatment is effective because trials incorporates features to ensure that evaluation of the benefits and risks of treatments are objective and unbiased.
The FDA requires that drugs or biologics (e.g., vaccines) are shown to be effective in clinical trials before they can be sold in the US.
