Clinical Trials at Duke

Clinical research promotes the development of new medicines, procedures, devices, health classes, and educational materials. It helps to improve the diagnosis of illnesses and to identify ways to stay healthy. Clinical research also uncovers new diseases and ways to prevent them.

All clinical research is done with participants who are volunteers, either patients or other community members, who have an interest in helping to improve healthcare. Broad representation in clinical research means better health for all. When all types of people are represented in clinical trials and studies, everyone benefits from new discoveries.
