What Is A Clinical Trial? A clinical trial is a research study designed to test the efficacy and safety of new investigational drugs, devices and medical procedures. To determine if a new drug is safe and effective, some study participants may take medication; others may take a “placebo,” or inactive treatment. Please check our Studies page for actively enrolling studies. All prescription medicines are approved through clinical trials. At URI, clinical trials are completed under the authority of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and in compliance with Good Clinical Practices and The Helsinki Declaration.
