Test TubeWhy do we need to conduct clinical trials?

The vast majority of us at sometime in our lives will have been prescribed some form of medication by our doctor. In doing so you will have benefited directly from clinical trials, which would have involved healthy volunteers like you.

Giving a medicine to a healthy volunteer provides information on the safety and tolerance of new medicines and how a healthy body absorbs and excretes drugs. This can be tested for example, by taking blood and urine samples, by measuring blood pressure and performing a ECG (a trace of your heart rate) at various times in the day.
