Clinical research studies involve the voluntary participation of human participants, under regulatory oversight and informed consent. There are different types of clinical research studies: clinical trials (or interventional studies) and observational studies. Clinical research studies are important because they add to generalizable medical knowledge and may lead to the development of new ways to improve health or to prevent, diagnose, or treat medical conditions. Clinical research studies may impact future generations.
A lead physician-scientist also called a principal investigator oversees each clinical research study along with a trained and qualified support team.
If you are interested in participating in a clinical research study, the study team will provide you with precise information about the purpose and course of the study. If you decide to participate, your participation is voluntary. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Some studies are done online, while others involve one or more study visits (appointments). Some studies offer compensation.
