CLINICAL TRIALS

New drugs in the United States are tested in clinical trials (research studies) to determine whether they are safe, whether they can successfully treat a particular medical condition, and what the recommended dosage should be. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews the results of the clinical trial to determine if the drug is a safe and effective treatment.

Clinical trials are a key research tool for advancing medical knowledge and patient care. KCNQ2 clinical trials are used to determine whether a treatment is safe and effective for KCNQ2 patients. Clinical trials produce the best data available for healthcare decision-making.
