Each trial is designed by a group of medical experts and other professionals.
A local research ethics committee (LREC) must approve the trial before it can go ahead.
The committee includes non-medical people, as well as doctors who will not be treating the patients who volunteer for the trial. The committee's job is to try to make sure that the trial will be properly run, and that the interests of patients will be well looked after.
