What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are research studies that test new ways to detect, prevent or treat diseases. These trials are important to patients because it determines if a new test or treatment works and is safe to administer. In the United States, new medications cannot be sold until they’ve been through clinical trials.
Can I participate in a clinical trial?
It depends on the trial. Researchers are typically looking for people who have a specific disease or who are at a high risk to develop a certain disease. For example, a trial may be looking for a new treatment for Type 1 diabetic patients. Trial coordinators would be looking for patients who suffer with Type 1 diabetes, probably in a certain age range.
The following clinical trials are currently being conducted:
• High Blood Pressure
• Type 2 Diabetes
