What is clinical research?
Pediatric clinical trials help improve the lives of kids in our community and beyond
The physicians, nurses and other team members caring for children at CHoR are dedicated to providing the best care for every child, now and in the future. We are actively conducting research into new treatments and ways to care for children in over a hundred clinical trials. Children who participate in a clinical trial may directly benefit as well as help children around the world who may be facing a similar condition.
What does it mean to participate in a clinical trial and what are some of the questions you should ask and get answered before you consider enrolling your child in one? Here are some places with important information. You can also ask your provider.

Clinical trials FAQs
A clinical trial is a research study carefully designed to find out if a treatment (or sometimes a test) is safe, helpful and well tolerated.
Children are different from adults. They have different conditions, a different size and often a different biology so drugs and treatments meant for children need to be tested on children. The goal of a clinical trial is to help figure out the best treatment for a disease.
To be in a clinical trial is often based on having a specific disease or condition. There may be other rules and limitations and it is important to ask about them before agreeing to participate
