Clinical trials are research studies that test a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention in people. These trials are the primary way that researchers determine if a new form of treatment or prevention, such as a new drug, diet, or medical device (for example, a pacemaker), is safe and effective in people.
Non-clinical testing will investigate any harmful effects of the medicine on the body due to the medicine's pharmacology, such as: Toxic effects – for example, on the reproductive system. If the medicine causes genetic changes. For some substances, whether they might cause cancerous growth.
In summary, the primary distinction lies in the focus on human subjects and the testing of interventions in clinical trial research, whereas non-clinical trial research encompasses a broader spectrum of studies that may not involve direct interventions on human participants.
Community-based research offers a notable advantage to smaller, independent practices primarily due to one factor: patients do not have to travel far to participate in a clinical trial, which can boost enrollment and advance scientific knowledge.

Non-Clinical Trial Research is a subcategory of regulated human research. Non-Clinical Trial Research also known as “non-interventional” or “observational” research because the study plan does not involve an intervention controlled by the researcher.
Answer the following four questions to determine if your study is a clinical trial: Does the study involve human participants? Are the participants prospectively assigned to an intervention? Is the study designed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the participants?
Community trials address the efficacy of preventive interventions applied at the group level (e.g., a social marketing campaign trial). Field trials address preventive interventions applied to individuals (e.g., a vaccine trial).
Clinical research is the study of health and illness in people. There are two main types of clinical research: observational studies and clinical trials. Read and share this infographic (PDF, 317K) to learn why researchers do different kinds of clinical studies. Observational studies monitor people in normal settings.
Community trials are an extension of field trials. In community trials the study group is the entire community, rather than individuals. Conceptually, the difference is whether or not the intervention is implemented separately for each individual.
