What is a Clinical Trial?<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Before a medication or new device for treatment of medical issues is available to the public, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must review and approve the medication or device for public use. The FDA does this to learn more about the product and ensure that it is effective and safe.<\/p>\n
To get FDA approval, the company that makes the medication or device must conduct clinical research trials.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”reveal1″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The companies ask people to volunteer for clinical research trials. In these clinical trials, participants are given the investigational medication or device and evaluated by study doctors and staff members.<\/p>\n
After clinical research studies are complete, the pharmaceutical company submits the study information to the FDA. The FDA reviews this information and decides if the investigational medication or device can become available to the public.<\/p>\n

Every clinical trial has eligibility requirements related to your age, health, and reproductive status. You must meet all the eligibility requirements to take part in a trial.<\/p>\n
If you see a trial that interests you and you meet the eligibility requirements, you can apply online to take part. After you\u2019ve applied, a trial staff member will contact you to invite you to a screening visit. Your screening appointment will be for a specific clinical trial, as each trial will have its own eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n

At this screening visit, you would meet with doctors and staff members at our clinic to discuss the trial and be assessed against the eligibility requirements. This visit typically takes between 2-4 hours to complete. During this visit, you will review the informed consent document (ICD). The ICD must be signed before any study procedures can be completed. Then, if you still want to participate and agree to sign the ICD, we will complete the screening assessments. Screening assessments can vary from study to study but typically include:<\/p>\n

A \u2018backup\/alternate\u2019 participant is someone who has passed all the screening criteria, is invited for the study admission, passes eligibility criteria on\u00a0admission, but is not selected to participate in the study. The alternate is not dosed unless a confirmed participant drops out or is not eligible to be dosed at\u00a0that planned admission. The alternate participant can usually leave the unit when dosing is complete for the confirmed participants. Alternate participants\u00a0receive a pro-rated payment for the study days completed.
