About Clinical Research at Yale

At Yale, there are hundreds of clinical research studies underway for a wide variety of conditions. There are also many trials that need healthy volunteers. Participants who are healthy are often needed to provide information that can be compared with people who have a specific illness or condition and to help establish the safety, dosage, and side effects of a new drug or treatment. All of these research studies are an important and necessary step in the process of making sure new treatments are safe and effective. They are also an opportunity for the volunteers who participate in them to try new experimental treatment options, help bring new medicine to patients who need it, and make a valuable contribution to the advancement of medical knowledge.
