FAQ’s

Research FAQs

What is a Clinical Trial?

Clinical trials are medical studies involving people to find safe and effective ways to prevent, detect, or treat diseases.

These trials start with lab research and, if promising, move on to testing in people. Trials go through phases to assess the treatment's safety and effectiveness. Eligibility criteria determine who can join, including children, adults, healthy volunteers, and patients from diverse backgrounds.

Each trial follows a protocol outlining participant activities and expectations. Understanding the risks and benefits is crucial before participating, and participants have rights and protections throughout the process.

What are some of the types of clinical studies?

Treatment studies: Test experimental treatments like new drugs, devices, or approaches to surgery and radiation therapy.

Behavioral studies: Examine specific behaviors through participant interviews or observations.

Observational studies: Collect and review medical history, blood samples, and other data to learn more about diseases or conditions.

Diagnostic studies: Develop better tests or procedures for diagnosing diseases or conditions.

What are your responsibilities during the study?

Ask questions.
Attend all scheduled appointments.
Follow the researchers' instructions.
Keep contact information up to date.
Store study materials securely and out of children's reach.
Inform researchers of any new medications, including homeopathic, prescribed, or over-the-counter.
Notify your pediatrician about your child's participation in the study.
Report all illnesses or injuries during the study, even if unrelated.

What is Informed Consent?

Informed consent ensures you have all the necessary information about a clinical trial before deciding to participate. Medical professionals will explain the details and answer your questions. You will receive an informed consent document outlining the study's purpose, duration, procedures, risks, and potential benefits. You decide whether to sign the document, indicating you reviewed and understood its content. It is not a contract, and you may withdraw from the trial at any time.

Do I need a Doctor’s referral?

Participants often join clinical trials through referrals from their physicians, but this isn't always the case. It is helpful to discuss the decision to join a clinical trial with your physician, family members, and friends.

Will I be paid for participating?

Some studies compensate participants for their time and inconvenience, while others do not. Typically, expenses such as travel costs or parking for clinic visits are reimbursed. During the informed consent process, a member of the study team will discuss any available compensation and reimbursements.

How will we be kept safe?

All research protocols conducted at Epic Medical Research undergo thorough examination and review by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is responsible for safeguarding the rights and welfare of individuals participating in research activities. It ensures that all research conducted is safe, ethical, and scientifically valuable.

What about Confidentiality?

The identity of research study participants is kept confidential. Scientific publications resulting from the research will not identify participants without specific prior approval.
