A clinical trial is a scientific research study designed to advance medical knowledge with the help of human volunteers. There are two main types of clinical studies:
- Observational studies are used to collect data about illnesses, medical conditions, and potential treatment plans.
- Interventional studies test the safety and efficacy of new treatment methods for a particular illness or condition.
Treatments evaluated during clinical trials can include medications, devices, procedures, or even changes to a person’s behaviors or habits. Trials can last anywhere from a few days to a few months, depending on the treatment being evaluated. Each clinical trial is overseen by a principal investigator, often a medical doctor, who develops a protocol for conducting the study. The protocol defines basic, crucial information such as the purpose of the study, the number of participants needed, and the treatment schedule. Volunteers who elect to participate in a clinical trial must meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the protocol. This is to protect the integrity of the study, as well as the health and well-being of the participants.
[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Participating in a research study” open=”no”]
If you’re interested in participating in a clinical research study, you’ll first be screened to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria. Criteria varies from study to study, but often includes factors such as age, gender, and existing medical conditions. Some clinical trials seek healthy participants, while others limit participation to those who have the illness or condition being studied.
Once you’ve enrolled in a clinical trial, you’ll be required to follow the treatment schedule exactly as detailed in the protocol. This means attending all visits to the clinic and taking all medication as described. Some clinical trials involving pharmaceuticals are placebo-controlled, meaning participants may receive an inactive substance instead of the drug being evaluated. In most cases, these types of trials are double-blind, meaning neither you nor your doctor will know whether you’re receiving a placebo.
Depending on the trial, you may receive compensation for your participation. Generally, the longer the trial, the more compensation you may receive. In addition, many clinical research facilities, including Synergy Research Centers, can provide transportation to and from our clinic.
There are many benefits to participating in a clinical trial, such as:
- Gaining access to cutting-edge treatments before they’re available to the general public
- Receiving individualized, careful attention from a highly qualified medical research team
- Helping others by contributing to the advancement of medical knowledge
[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Questions to ask” open=”no”]
Before enrolling in a study, it’s also important to understand the potential risks. It’s possible that your treatment may be ineffective. You may also experience uncomfortable and unwanted side effects. Prior to making your decision to participate, you’ll have an opportunity to ask any questions to help you fully understand the scope of the study. Some questions you may consider asking include:
- What is the purpose of this study?
- What will my responsibilities be as a participant?
- What are the possible short-term and long-term benefits?
- What are the possible short-term and long-term risks?
- Who will oversee my medical care while I’m participating?
- How could participation affect my daily life?
After weighing the potential advantages and disadvantages, you’ll be asked to sign an informed consent document to confirm your understanding of the risks, benefits, and responsibilities associated with participating in the study. Participation is always voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time.
