What is a Clinical Research Study?

Clinical research studies are research studies that help doctors and researchers learn whether new approaches to care are safe and effective, and in some cases to further test existing treatments.

Clinical research studies look at ways to prevent, identify, or treat disease. Clinical research studies can study:

  • New drugs or new combinations of drugs.
  • New ways to use existing treatments.
  • New ways to change behaviors to improve health.
  • New ways to improve the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses, including autoimmune diseases.

The goal of clinical research studies is to determine if these treatment, prevention, and behavior approaches are safe and effective. Participation in a clinical research study may involve study visits, health assessments, questionnaires, or monitoring over time.

Clinical research studies follow strict safety guidelines, and participants can leave a study at any time.
