WHAT ARE CLINICAL TRIALS?

Clinical research is an essential component of medical science, dedicated to exploring new treatments, therapies, and diagnostic methods. Participation in clinical research offers patients the chance to contribute to the development of superior treatments and to potentially benefit from groundbreaking therapies not yet available to the public. Additionally, clinical trials provide an opportunity to receive expert medical care without the need for health insurance, and participants may also be compensated financially for their involvement. This makes clinical trials accessible to a wider range of participants, helping to advance medical knowledge and treatment options. The insights gained from these studies can significantly enhance treatment protocols and healthcare outcomes globally.

  • Participants may gain access to new treatments before they are widely available, receive expert medical care at leading healthcare facilities during the trial, and contribute to medical research that may benefit others.

  • As with any medical treatment, there are potential risks. These may include side effects from the treatment, procedures that may be uncomfortable or time-consuming, and the possibility that the new treatment may not be effective.

  • Compensation for participation varies depending on the study. Some trials provide financial compensation, while others may offer travel reimbursements or free medical treatment. Details about compensation will be provided before enrollment.

  • After a trial is completed, the data is analyzed to determine the effectiveness and safety of the intervention. Results are often published in scientific journals and may lead to further research or the development of new treatments.

  • Clinical trials are conducted in phases, each with a different purpose. Phase I tests safety and dosage, Phase II evaluates effectiveness and side effects, Phase III compares the new treatment against current treatments, and Phase IV occurs after FDA approval to monitor long-term effectiveness and safety.

  • Yes, participation in clinical trials is voluntary, and participants can withdraw at any time for any reason without penalty or loss of benefits to which they are otherwise entitled.

  • Determining your eligibility for a clinical trial involves evaluating various factors such as your age, health condition, medical history, and specific criteria related to the study. To find out if you qualify for any of our current or upcoming clinical trials, we encourage you to fill out our online screener. This screener is a simple questionnaire that helps us assess your suitability for a trial based on preliminary information. Once completed, our team will review your responses and get in touch with you to discuss potential trial opportunities that you may be eligible for.
