What is Clinical Research?
Become an informed volunteer today
Clinical research is a branch of healthcare science that determines the effectiveness and safety of medications, medical devices and diagnostic products intended for human use. The research gathered may be used for prevention, diagnosis or treatment of medical diseases. Clinical research in humans is typically conducted in four phases. Each phase of the drug approval process is treated as a separate clinical trial. Once the phase is completed investigators are required to submit their data for approval from the FDA before continuing to the next phase.

Volunteer Trials
How does a clinical trial work?
In a clinical trial, a volunteer is usually assigned a specific study group. Volunteers in one study group may receive an investigational treatment or study drug while other volunteers may receive a placebo or a treatment already available.
Physicians
Speak to your Doctor or a Professional Healthcare Privider
Patients considering participating in a clinical trial should talk about it with their physicians and medical caregivers. Potential volunteers should also understand the credentials and experience of the staff and the facility involved in conducting the study.
