Details
A clinical trial involves research using human volunteers (also called participants) that is intended to add to medical knowledge. In a clinical trial, participants receive specific interventions according to the research plan or protocol created by the investigators. These interventions may be medical products, such as drugs or devices; procedures; or changes to participants' behavior, such as diet. When a new product or approach is being studied, it is not usually known whether it will be helpful, harmful, or no different than available alternatives (including no intervention). The investigators try to determine the safety and efficacy of the intervention by measuring certain outcomes in the participants.
There are many reasons people volunteer for clinical trials. Healthy volunteers may hope to contribute to advancing science. Patients with an illness or disease participate with the hope the investigational treatment may benefit their condition or treatment outcome. While there are no guarantees that the investigational treatment will benefit you, each person who participates in a clinical trial contributes to scientific progress. Your participation helps researchers advance therapies that have the potential to improve and save lives.
