Frequently Asked Questions

Clinical research refers to scientific studies designed to test and evaluate the safety and efficacy of new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or interventions. Clinical research is conducted to advance medical knowledge, improve patient care, and develop new treatments and therapies for various medical conditions.

Clinical research is important because it helps identify new treatments and therapies for medical conditions, improve patient care, and advance medical knowledge. Without clinical research, many medical breakthroughs and treatments that we take for granted today would not exist.

Eligibility criteria for clinical research trials vary depending on the study’s design and purpose. Generally, participants must meet specific age, health status, and medical history criteria. Researchers also consider other factors such as the participant’s lifestyle, medication use, and existing health conditions when evaluating eligibility.
Participating in a clinical research trial can have both risks and benefits. The benefits include access to new treatments, therapies, or medical devices, contributing to the advancement of medical knowledge, and receiving closer medical attention. The risks may include side effects or adverse events from the treatment or procedure, discomfort, inconvenience, and potential for privacy breaches.
Participants in clinical research trials are protected by a set of regulations and guidelines designed to ensure their safety and privacy. Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are responsible for reviewing study protocols and ensuring that they meet ethical and legal standards. Informed consent is also required from participants to ensure they understand the study’s purpose, risks, and benefits before enrolling.
During a clinical research trial, participants may receive a new medication, therapy, or medical device, or undergo a procedure. The participant’s health is monitored closely throughout the trial to determine how well the treatment is working, and whether there are any adverse effects. Participants are required to follow the study protocol and may be asked to keep a diary or attend regular follow-up visits.
Participants may receive compensation for their time and expenses during a clinical research trial. Compensation varies depending on the study’s design and duration, and the type of participation required. Compensation may include reimbursement for travel expenses, time, and participation in the study.
The duration of a clinical research trial varies depending on the study’s design, purpose, and the number of participants required. Some trials may last only a few months, while others may take several years. Participants are informed of the study’s duration and expected commitment before enrolling.
Eligibility criteria for clinical research trials vary depending on the study’s design and purpose. Some studies may exclude participants with pre-existing medical conditions, while others may require participants with specific medical conditions. Participants’ eligibility for a clinical research trial is determined by the study’s inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Access to study intervention after the trial has ended depends on the study’s design, purpose, and outcome. Some interventions may be approved for general use by regulatory bodies, while others may not receive approval. Participants may also have the option to continue receiving the intervention under a separate clinical trial or follow-up program.
