FAQs
What is a clinical study?
- Research studies that evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new medications in humans
- Before human testing, these potential treatments undergo rigorous lab animal testing to verify safety
- They are closely regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA approval is required for new treatments, ensuring they meet stringent quality and safety standards before public availability
Why should I join a clinical study?
- In-depth Healthcare Attention: Benefit from closer health monitoring and personalized care from healthcare professionals throughout the study
- Access to New Treatments: Gain early access to innovative treatments and contribute to the development of new medical therapies
- Complimentary Health Assessments: Receive free health screenings, lab tests, imaging, and exams, providing valuable insights into your health
- Contribute to Medical Advancements: Play a crucial role in advancing medical knowledge and treatments, helping to improve public health
- Safety and Volunteer Well-being: Enjoy the assurance of a safety-focused environment, with the option to withdraw at any time for your comfort
Can anyone participate in a clinical study?
Yes, however specific requirements and eligibility criteria exist for participating in clinical studies. Here are some key things to keep in mind about who can participate:
- Age: There are often age minimums and maximums, depending on the study.
- Health status: To be eligible for the treatment, participants must have the medical condition that the treatment intends to alleviate. There are usually criteria around the type and severity of symptoms. Certain other health conditions may also exclude someone from participating if it could impact results.
- Gender: Some studies are limited to a single gender, especially early-stage studies testing drugs that interact differently with men vs. women.
- Prior treatments/therapies: Another criterion often considered is whether someone has undergone previous treatments related to the condition.
Ultimately, clinical studies set rigorous guidelines on age, health, gender and more. The specifics are narrowed down based on what they want to test and study for any potential new treatment. Getting enrolled can be selective.
What are clinical study benefits and risks?
Benefits include:
- Active participation in health care
- difficult to access and often costly treatments
- Free testing (i.e. imaging, bloodwork, exams)
- Assisting others by participating in studies for potential approval and public availability
Participating in a clinical study may carry risks your doctor will disclose. Possible risks of experimental treatment include:
- Side effects, both known and unknown
- Study procedures
- Treatment ineffectiveness
- Treatment is not practical for all patients
Some clinical studies give patients a placebo instead of experimental treatment. Along with the risks above, the study may need time and attention from participants, including trips to the research location, more treatments, hospital stays, or complex dosage requirements.
Is there any cost to me or my insurance company to participate?
Do I get compensated if I participate in a clinical study?
Individuals who participate in clinical studies may receive compensation for their involvement. Compensation is provided for the time and effort outlined in the informed consent form, and the amounts can vary based on study length, required procedures, and participant needs. The sponsor sets the compensation amounts.
Studies may also offer free medical checks, laboratory tests, and study medications.
The current compensation system is not intended to incentivize taking personal risks, and any pressure to participate for payment is against ethical standards. Before enrolling in a study, the research site will disclose the compensation available for time and travel. Compensation should never be the main reason for participation; the primary goal should be helping to advance medical research.
What should I consider before enrolling in a research study?
- What is the purpose of the study?
- Why do the researchers believe the experimental treatment will be effective?
- Has the treatment been tested previously?
- What types of tests and experimental therapies will be used?
- How do the study’s potential risks, side effects, and benefits compare to my current treatment?
- How will my illness and the effectiveness of the treatment be tracked during the study?
- How will this study affect my daily life?
- How long will the study last?
- Who will pay for the experimental treatment and other study-related costs?
- Will I be compensated for my time, travel, or any additional expenses?
- Will I receive the study results, and if so, when?
- Who will be responsible for my healthcare during the study?
- Whom should I contact on the study team if I have questions or concerns during participation?
