A clinical trial is a research study that tests new treatments, interventions, or tests to prevent, detect, treat, or manage various diseases or medical conditions. These studies are essential for developing new medicines and improving health outcomes.

Eligibility varies from study to study based on specific criteria, including age, gender, the type and stage of a disease, previous treatment history, and other medical conditions. These criteria are used to identify appropriate participants and keep them safe.

Safety is our utmost priority. Clinical trials undergo rigorous testing and must adhere to strict regulations before they can even recruit participants. Throughout a trial, independent ethics committees monitor the safety data.

The term ‘investigational’ describes the drug, procedure, or device that is being tested in a clinical trial but has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities like the FDA or Health Canada for general use. We use ‘investigational’ in our advertising to clarify that while these methods show promise for treating or managing conditions, they are still under examination to ensure their safety and effectiveness. This distinction is important as it sets expectations for potential participants, informing them that participation involves receiving a treatment still in the research phase.

To enroll, contact us through our website or by phone. We’ll conduct a preliminary screening via phone to see if you fit any study criteria. If you do, we’ll invite you for a more detailed assessment where we’ll give you a detailed overview of the study, collect information on your medical history, and perform any standard health exams to verify your eligibility.

Participants may undergo medical tests, receive interventions (like a new drug or medical device), and have their health closely monitored. Each study differs significantly, so specific details and number of study visits are provided up front.
