Clinical trials help develop doctors create tomorrow's cures today.  A clinical trial takes place when scientific research is applied to human health.  When this occurs, the research hypotesis that was successful in a laboratory setting is applied to patients.  Participating in trials is always optional.  The following links provide additional information about participating in clinical trials.
