What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study designed to evaluate a medical intervention's safety, efficacy, and/or effectiveness, such as a new drug, therapy, medical device, or treatment procedure. These trials are conducted with human participants, often patients, to assess the potential benefits and risks of the intervention.
Clinical trials are typically conducted in multiple phases: Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, and Phase IV.
Clinical trials follow strict protocols and are conducted under the supervision of trained medical professionals and researchers. Participants in clinical trials are required to provide informed consent after receiving detailed information about the study's objectives, procedures, potential risks, and benefits.
Phase I
Phase III
Phase II
These trials are the first step in testing a new intervention in humans. They primarily focus on assessing the intervention's safety and dosage levels.
Length of Study: Several months
Approximately 70% of drugs move to the next phase.
Phase II
Phase III
Phase II
Phase two tests the treatment on a larger group of patients to evaluate safety, dosage, and efficacy.
Length of Study: Several months to 2 years
Approximately 33% of drugs move to the next phase.
Phase III
Phase III
Phase III
Phase III trials confirm treatment effectiveness, compare with standard treatments, and evaluate safety and side effects among a larger patient population.
Length of Study: 1 to 4 years
Approximately 25-30% of drugs move to the next phase
Phase IV
Phase III
Phase III
Phase IV trials are conducted after regulatory approval to monitor the intervention's long-term safety and effectiveness in real-world settings, identifying rare or long-term side effects.
Who can participate in a clinical trial?
Clinical trials allow people from different backgrounds and with various health conditions to participate in medical research. Anyone can participate, regardless of age, health, ethnicity, or social background. There's usually no need for insurance, proof of legal status, or citizenship. These trials may involve healthy volunteers or individuals with specific illnesses or medical conditions.
Participating in clinical trials can offer several potential
Access to New Treatments
Clinical trials offer advanced investigational therapies that can help those who have exhausted standard treatments or seek alternatives.
Contribution to Medical Knowledge
Participating in clinical trials advances medical science, improves patient care, and helps develop new treatments for diseases while enhancing existing therapies.
Close Monitoring and Care
Clinical trial participants receive ongoing monitoring and medical attention from experienced professionals to detect and treat health issues early, promoting well-being.
Potential for Improved Health Outcomes
Clinical trial participation may lead to improved health outcomes, including better symptom management, disease control, or remission due to investigational treatments.
Financial Assistance
Clinical trial participants may receive compensation for their time, travel expenses, and other costs.
Empowerment and Support
Clinical trials offer a chance for empowerment and emotional support by connecting individuals facing similar health challenges.
Contribution to Public Health
Clinical trials benefit public health by developing safe and effective treatments.
