What is a Clinical Trial?

Clinical trials are a type of research that studies new tests and treatments and evaluates their effects on human health outcomes. People volunteer to participate in clinical trials to test medical interventions, including drugs, cells, other biological products, surgical procedures, radiological procedures, devices, behavioral treatments, and preventive care.

There are 4 phases of biomedical clinical trials:

  • Phase I studies usually test new drugs for the first time in a small group of people to evaluate a safe dosage range and identify side effects.
  • Phase II studies test treatments that are safe in Phase I but now need a larger group of human subjects to monitor for any adverse effects.
  • Phase III studies are conducted on larger populations and in different regions and countries and are often the step right before a new treatment is approved.
  • Phase IV studies take place after country approval, and there is a need for further testing in a wide population over a longer timeframe.

What a Clinical Trial is Like

The most important aspect of any clinical trial is you, the participant. As such, the process for participants has been streamlined to be as simple as possible, and we are happy to compensate our participants for their time and travel.

There are three major steps for participants in each clinical trial:

  1. Sign up & pre-qualify. First and foremost, we want to hear from you! Click here if you are interested in becoming a participant in a clinical trial. We will then contact you to conduct the initial screening call to prequalify you.
  2. Meet us in person. If you prequalify, we will invite you to our clinic for a free, in-person medical exam to further determine your eligibility for the study. The medical exam is completely free to you, paid for by the study, and we will never ask you for your medical insurance information.
  3. Participate in the study. If you meet the study guidelines, we will ask you to participate. You will be placed into a group where you will come to our office for study visits, take the study medication, and come for follow-up monitoring appointments. The length and number of these appointments vary from study to study.
