==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''clinical trial''' is when a potential new [[medicine]] is tested on [[human]]s to see if it is safe and if it works.
===About Clinical Trials===
: '''Clinical trials''' begin on healthy adult [[human]]s using small doses of the potential [[medicine]].
: Once a potential [[medicine]] has proved to be safe it can then be used on a small number of [[patient]]s with the [[disease]] that is to be treated.
: Eventually large '''clinical trials''' take place with many patients to find the best [[dose]] of the potential [[medicine]].
