FAQs

Everything you need to know

  • Research studies that evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new medications in
    humans.
  • Before human testing, these potential treatments undergo rigorous lab animal
    testing to verify safety.
  • They are closely regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA
    approval is required for new treatments, ensuring they meet stringent quality and
    safety standards before public availability
  • In-depth Healthcare Attention: Benefit from closer health monitoring and personalized care from healthcare professionals throughout the study.
  • Access to New Treatments: Gain early access to innovative treatments and contribute to the development of new medical therapies.
  • Complimentary Health Assessments: Receive free health screenings, lab tests, imaging, and exams, providing valuable insights into your health.
  • Contribute to Medical Advancements: Play a crucial role in advancing medical knowledge and treatments, helping to improve public health.
  • Safety and Volunteer Well-being: Enjoy the assurance of a safety-focused environment, with the option to withdraw at any time for your comfort.
Yes however, specific requirements and eligibility criteria exist for participating in clinical studies. Here are some key things to keep in mind about who can participate:
  • Age: There are often age minimums and maximums, depending on the study.
  • Health status: To be eligible for the treatment, participants must have the medical condition that the treatment intends to alleviate. There are usually criteria around the type and severity of symptoms. Certain other health conditions may also exclude someone from participating if it could impact results.
  • Gender: Some studies are limited to a single gender, especially early-stage studies testing drugs that interact differently with men vs. women.
  • Prior treatments/therapies: Another criterion often considered is Whether someone has undergone previous treatments related to the condition.
Ultimately, clinical studies set rigorous guidelines on age, health, gender and more. The specifics are narrowed down based on what they want to test and study for any potential new treatment. Getting enrolled can be selective.
Benefits include:
  • Active participation in health care.
  • difficult to access and often costly treatments.
  • Free testing (i.e. imaging, bloodwork, exams).
  • Assisting others by participating in studies for potential approval and public availability.
Participating in a clinical study may carry risks your doctor will disclose. Possible risks of experimental treatment include:
  • Side effects, both known and unknown.
  • Study procedures.
  • Treatment ineffectiveness.
  • Treatment is not practical for all patients.
Some clinical studies give patients a placebo instead of experimental treatment. Along with the risks above, the study may need time and attention from participants, including trips to the research location, more treatments, hospital stays, or complex dosage requirements.

Participating in a legitimate clinical studies is free. While every effort is made to ensure that study-related costs are covered by the sponsor, unforeseen expenses may arise. For instance, if you experience side effects that require medical attention outside the study protocol, these costs may not be covered by the study. You are encouraged to discuss any concerns with your health insurance provider the research team before enrolling in the study.

Individuals who participate in numerous clinical studies receive compensation for their involvement. Some important things to know about compensation:
  • Compensation is for the time and effort outlined and specified in the informed consent compensation amounts vary based on study length, required processes, and participant needs. The sponsor sets the amounts for these compensations.
  • Studies also offer free medical checks, lab tests, and medicines.
The current compensation system does not incentivize taking personal risks. Such pressure is against ethical standards. Before enrolling in a study, the research site will disclose compensations for time and travel. Compensation should never be the main reason for participation; the primary goal should be advancing medical study.
All potential volunteers must learn as much as possible about their disease and the clinical study they are pursuing. Participants should ask members of the study team questions about the study, the care they can expect while participating, and the potential risks. Participants are encouraged to ask the study’s study team the following questions:
  • What is the purpose of the study?
  • Why do the researchers feel the experimental treatment will be effective?
  • Has it been tested previously?
  • What types of tests and experimental therapies are used?
  • How do the research’s potential risks, side effects, and benefits compare to my present treatment?
  • How will my illness and the effectiveness of the treatment be tracked?
  • How will this study affect my daily life?
  • How long will the study be?
  • Who will pay for the experimental treatment?
  • Will I get compensated for additional expenses?
  • Will I receive the study results? When?
  • Who will be in control of my healthcare?
