Clinical Trials

What are clinical trials?

Clinical trials are tests of experimental drugs, devices or other new treatments. Some clinical trials test drugs that have already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Some compare two or more current treatments. This research is important to improve health care. Being in a clinical trial may or may not benefit you, but it may help future patients.

Why you should participate:

• It's important for research studies to have people from different backgrounds. We want our study outcomes to include all ages, genders and cultures
• You may be contributing to improving health care within Nebraska and beyond
• We are committed to safe research and improving healthcare for our community
