What is a clinical research?
Clinical research trials are a type of research that examine and evaluates new treatments, whether is be drugs, medical devices, or vaccinations. It is open to both adults and children, so that all future patients of all type could benefit from it. Important data about medical issues and the experimental product under study, including its safety and effectiveness, are gathered via clinical trials. Clinical research trials are strictly regulation by local, regional, and global guidelines that are set to ensure the safety of patients and information.
How do I participate in clinical research?
If you’re interested in participating in a clinical trial in Rockville, Maryland, contact us or call us at: (301) 610-0663
However, we highly suggest that you discuss with your primary care physician or dermatologist before participating in any clinical trial. Please feel free to ask as many questions you may have when participating in a clinical trial you are interested in.
Why is clinical research important?
What does a clinical research coordinator do?
In a clinical research facility, the role of the clinical research coordinator (CRC) is to oversee every facet of the clinical trials. They are in charge of finding and vetting participants for clinical studies. In addition, coordinators have to make sure that all records are kept current with patient and research data, as well as for the safety of any materials that might be utilized throughout the study.
A CRC will be handling all of the participant’s information, test results, and screening. With their help you, will complete an informed consent process and can ask as many questions or issues you may have with the clinical research.
What are the phases of a clinical trial?
To test the safety and efficacy of a treatment, the series of clinical trials unfold in 4 phases.
As a volunteer in a Phase I clinical trial, you will assist researchers in learning about the safety of a study drug. You may be subjected to periodic clinical checkups and lab work, and you will be required to report any problems or adverse effects.
In Phase II clinical trial, you will be assisting researchers in gaining a better understanding of how effectively the study drug may perform for the disease being investigated, as well as the potential adverse effects.
In Phase III clinical study, you will be a member of a bigger group of people (approx. several hundred to several thousand participants) with the same medical condition being examined. Your involvement assists us in determining if the study medication is safe and effective for persons suffering from that disease.
In Phase IV, the drug is usually approved by FDA, however, you can continue to take part in long-term clinical trials to better understand the effects of the approved treatment over time. This may take a year or more after the drug has been approved.
Are clinical trials safe?
With any clinical trial or new therapy, there is always going to be a potential risk. To make you aware of all the possible risks and benefits of the clinical trial, you would go be explained in full detail during the informed consent process, prior to participating.
Every clinical research organization must follow guidelines and regulatory requirements that are set to help protect the rights, safety, and well-being of all the participants. These practices are referred as Good Clinical Practice (GCP). GCP is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for clinical trial design and execution.
Your participation and that of the other volunteers involves numerous entities. This comprises data safety and monitoring boards, institutional review boards (IRB), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States.
Can I leave the clinical trial after it has begun?
Yes, volunteers have the ability to leave the clinical trial at any point in time for any reason. Participating in a clinical trial is completely voluntary.
If you feel you may want to leave, after the trial begun, please discuss this with the CRC.
What is an Investigational Drug or Investigational Product?
An Investigational Drug or an Investigational Product is also known as an experimental drug. In a research trial, it is examined to determine whether your illness or medical condition gets better. Researchers may be able to assess the investigational drug’s safety and efficacy, its potential for use in treating the disease, and the possible risks and advantages of using it throughout the clinical research study. Even after receiving FDA approval for one disease or condition, a drug may still be under investigation for other diseases or conditions.
Quality comes first
Research studies are the reason behind every advancement we make in the fight against different conditions. Clinical research trials aid medical professionals and scientists in determining the most effective treatments as well as their safety. Making the decision to participate in a clinical trial is never simple, either for you or your loved ones. On the other hand, you’ll feel better about your choice if you approach the situation prepared, aware of the potential risks, and aware of the benefits.
Never forget that you are the volunteer and that you are in control of your participation in the research trial.
