What a clinical trial is

A clinical trial is research that tries to answer scientific questions and to find better ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease.

We are investigators in a variety of FDA-approved and supervised trials of treatments for infectious diseases, especially HIV and Hepatitis C.
