Investigational Drug

An investigational drug is a medication that is being tested to determine if it is safe and effective for treating a specific condition. It is usually in the early stages of development and is not yet approved for general use. These drugs are studied through clinical trials, where researchers carefully monitor their effects on participants. The goal is to gather enough evidence to decide whether the drug should be approved for routine medical care. Participating in trials helps advance medical knowledge and can provide access to new treatments before they become widely available.
