What is a clinical trial?

Imagine being part of a journey to create new treatments and vaccines that may improve lives. That's what happens in clinical trials, where researchers test new ways to prevent or treat diseases and illnesses to make sure they're as safe and effective as possible for people like you. This important step follows years of research and is crucial to creating new medicines and vaccines. 
 
At Sanofi, we believe that the people who matter most are the ones living with a condition or disease. That's why we're committed to listening to and learning from patient communities. We want to understand what matters most to you, what challenges you face, and what you need to live a healthier, happier life. By working together, we can develop new treatments and vaccines that make a real difference, address unmet needs, and improve overall well-being.
