Clinical
trials are controlled studies that test the value of various treatments, such as
drugs, surgery, or interventions in human beings. Clinical trials play a monumental role in
biomedical research and health care in a variety of public health disciplines,
including cancer, AIDS, psychiatric medicine, nutrition, epidemiology,
environmental heath and cardiovascular disease, as well as in many other areas
of general medicine. The Center for Innovative Clinical Trials will focus on all
types of clinical trials, including non-drug interventions, and on both therapeutic
and prevention trials in all areas of public health.
