NCT (National Clinical Trial)

A National Clinical Trial (NCT) is a research study conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new medical treatments, drugs, or procedures. Sponsored or overseen by organizations like the U.S. National Institutes of Health, these trials follow strict protocols to ensure reliable results. Participants volunteer to join, helping researchers understand how well a treatment works and identify any risks. NCTs are essential for advancing medical knowledge, improving patient care, and bringing new therapies to market. They are registered publicly on databases like ClinicalTrials.gov to promote transparency and accessibility.
