FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
VOLUNTEERS
WHAT IS A CLINICAL TRIAL?
Clinical Trials rely on volunteers to develop and test new medical treatments and devices, demonstrating their safety and effectiveness for FDA approval.
ARE CLINICAL TRIALS SAFE?
Clinical trials undergo close oversight by pharmaceutical companies and the FDA to ensure strict adherence to established guidelines. Throughout the trial and follow-up period, your physician and research coordinator will carefully monitor volunteer health status information to ensure your safety and well-being.
Furthermore, every research study must be approved by an Independent Institutional Review Board (IRB) composed of experts from the medical and legal fields. This board is dedicated to ensuring the welfare of study volunteers and continues to oversee the study throughout the trial.
