Did you know? There are different types of clinical trials!

Clinical trials are research studies that explore whether a drug, treatment, device, or medical strategy is safe and effective for humans. These studies follow strict scientific standards to protect patients and produce reliable research results. 

Clinical trials can take several different forms:

  • In interventional studies, participants are assigned by the investigator to a drug, treatment, or other intervention, and their outcomes are measured.
  • In observational studies, participants are observed (without being given a drug, treatment, or other intervention) and their outcomes are measured by the investigators. The PFF Community Registry is one example of an observational study in which participants have agreed that their data may be used in this way.
  • In expanded access studies, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows manufacturers to provide new drugs that are still being researched to patients with serious diseases or conditions who cannot participate in a clinical trial.
