What are clinical trials?

Before new treatments and medications are made available to the public, they first have to be studied to make sure they’re safe and effective. That’s where research studies come in.

How clinical trials help

A research study, or clinical trial, is a type of medical research that’s used to determine how well a new treatment or medication will work. The goal is simple: To help doctors find safe and effective ways to treat, diagnose or even prevent all kinds of medical conditions.

 

What happens if I qualify?

If you qualify to participate in a research study, you’ll get the chance to receive some of the latest healthcare treatments, learn more about your medical condition, and become an active part in helping researchers improve the health and well-being of future patients.

Why should I join a clinical trial?

To get access to innovative new treatments.

You’ll have the opportunity to receive new medicines and treatments as part of your study, all provided at no cost to you.

Safety First

The health and safety of study participants always comes first. That’s why all research studies in the U.S. follow strict safety protocols that are reviewed and approved by institutional review boards comprised of medical professionals, scientists and patient advocates in accordance with the FDA. Studies conducted outside the U.S. are overseen by international ethics review committees and must meet similarly high safety standards.
