Clinical Trials and Clinical Research Studies
What is a Clinical Trial/Clinical Research?
Clinical trials test promising new medications. Medications are first developed and tested in a laboratory. In a clinical trial, doctors determine if the medication is effective in patients and if it has any side effects.
Clinical research studies are used to answer many questions about medications and other interventions used to treat illnesses.
What Are the Benefits? Are There any Risks?
Clinical trials and clinical research are carefully monitored. They are conducted by a physician and a study coordinator. All research is monitored by the FDA and by an independent review board. If a particular trial or study has any risks or benefits, you will be completely informed before you make a decision on whether or not to participate.
Do I Have to Participate?
No. Participation is completely voluntary and if you do participate, you can leave the study at any time. Also, your regular health care is unaffected by your decision.
