FAQ
What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are research studies that follow pre-defined protocols, to determine whether a specific treatment is better than what is currently available. Participants in clinical trial can play a more active role in their health care, and often gain access to new treatments that are not widely available.
Who can participate in a clinical trial?
Every clinical trial is different and has several inclusion and exclusion criteria for participation. Generally, if you are above the age of 18, can read and understand the informed consent form, and can attend all scheduled research visits; you may be eligible to participate.
What are the benefits to participating in clinical trials?
Participants in clinical trials are given the same top notch medical care with Inland Cardiology but also get additional checkups with our research staff. When you participate in a clinical trial you are becoming an important contributor to healthcare of tomorrow. Some studies do provide compensation for your time and effort of participation.
Participation and Obligations
If you are screened for a study and approved to be an active participant there are things you should consider before becoming involved. Participation in clinical trials work on a volunteer basis and you are agreeing to provide your attention and time to the study. Many studies require you to keep logs, medications, and journals. If you choose to participate, you would be responsible for keeping research staff informed of any changes to your healthcare, medications, procedures, etc. Most studies require a long term commitment, so as many as 5 years of follow up; be sure you understand the anticipated duration of the study prior to participating.
Your participation in a research study will not affect your ability to receive treatment for other medical conditions.
Why participate?
You have the chance to take part in investigational treatment that is not readily available. By participating you are also helping in the development of medical treatments that may help others.
