What is a Clinical Trial?
A clinical trial is a structured research study involving human participants, designed to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and potential benefits of an investigational medication, device, or treatment. These studies are conducted under strict supervision to ensure reliability and compliance with regulatory standards. Before any new drug or device becomes available to the public, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires it to be rigorously tested through clinical trials. All prescription medications currently in use were first proven safe and effective in these studies.
Can I leave the study after joining?
Yes, participation in a clinical trial is entirely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw at any time for any reason, without any penalties or impact on your future medical care.
Are clinical trials safe?
The safety of our participants is our top priority. Clinical trials are conducted according to strict ethical guidelines and are closely regulated by federal authorities. Before a trial begins, it undergoes approval by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure it meets rigorous safety and ethical standards. Additionally, throughout the study, participants are closely monitored to address any concerns promptly.
Is there any cost to participate in a clinical trial?
No, participation in a clinical trial is completely free of charge. In most cases, the study sponsor covers all related costs, and participants may even receive compensation for their time and travel expenses.
Who can participate in a clinical trial?
Each study has specific eligibility criteria based on factors like age, gender, medical history, and current health status. These criteria ensure that the study is conducted effectively and safely. If you’re interested, our team will guide you through the screening process to determine if you qualify.
What are the benefits of participating in a clinical trial?
By joining a clinical trial, participants gain access to investigational treatments that may not yet be available to the public. Additionally, they contribute to advancing medical knowledge, helping improve healthcare for future generations. Some studies also offer compensation or additional medical oversight during the trial period.
Will my personal information remain confidential?
Yes, your privacy is protected throughout the study. All data collected is kept confidential and used only for research purposes. Clinical trials adhere to strict data protection regulations to safeguard your personal information.
