REMINDER regarding your first visit
During this visit, you will be given an Informed Consent Form to sign. You will be welcomed into a private room with the physician to learn about the study, the risks, benefits, known side effects, together with all procedures you must undergo during the trial, should you choose to participate.
Some studies may require a caregiver, Legal Authorized Representative (LAR) and/or any other such individual to be present during this process. Once the consent form has been reviewed, discussed and signed by all applicable parties, you will be taken to begin the procedures of the study or you may be scheduled to come in another day depending upon each study’s requirements..
In order to determine whether you meet all of the requirements for a study, a questionnaire and/or physical examination is usually conducted during the screening process. All of the information obtained during the screening period and throughout the study is kept confidential and secure. Once all the results from the screening tests are in and the study staff has reviewed your results together with your medical history, the doctor will decide on your qualification to participate. The study coordinator will call you to inform you. If you do qualify you will be scheduled for your baseline visit.
All studies vary in length. Some studies may last just a few weeks, while others can last years. The length of your study determines the number of study visits you will have. At the start of the study, the visits are usually more frequent and as the trial progresses you will be required to come in less often. Typically, you will need to bring your study medication and any diaries you were dispensed to each study visit.
We conduct Clinical Research studies with the help of volunteers like you. By registering with us, we hope that we can find a suitable study for you now, or in the future..
