In medicine, a clinical trial (synonyms: clinical studies, research protocols, medical research) is a research study.
To be ethical, they must involve the full and informed consent of participating human subjects. They are closely supervised by appropriate regulatory authorities. All interventional studies must be approved by an ethics committee (in the USA, this body is the Institutional Review Board) before permission is granted to run the trial.
