What is a clinical trial?
10 things you should know about a research study
1
1. Clinical trials are the backbone of new drug development. Research studies provide the information needed to determine whether a new medication is effective and safe to use. Without research, there are no new treatments.
2
Taking part in a clinical trial is an individual, personal decision.
3
The health of participating patients is the priority of the entire research team.
4
Pharmacological research studies operate under a strict national and international regulatory and ethical framework that protects patients' safety and rights.
5
The risk/benefit of participating varies by situation, and researchers only conduct a clinical trial if the potential benefit outweighs the risk.
6
Every research study has clear rules for participation through inclusion and exclusion criteria. The investigating physician assesses which patients can participate based on their condition and characteristics.
7
All patients taking part in a clinical trial may withdraw at any time they choose.
8
Volunteering involves no cost, and participation is free of charge.

Clinical trials are conducted simultaneously in different countries, under the same standards. To approve a medication for use, it is essential that patients from various cities around the world take part.
