What is a clinical trial of a drug?
A clinical trial of a drug is a controlled and regulated use of a drug in humans to collect data on the drug’s effects, side effects, absorption, distribution, transformation and excretion, efficacy and safety. Clinical drug trials must always be approved by the Medicines Agency and the Research Ethics Committee.
Why do clinical trials?
Participating in a clinical trial contributes to the development of new drugs.
Clinical trials help determine whether new potential drugs (called investigational drugs) are safe and how well they work.
Clinical drug trials provide the best information for health decisions, new drugs and new forms of treatment.
Clinical studies, which prove a sufficiently high level of efficacy and safety of the drug, are necessary for each new drug in order to obtain a license for use from the Medicines Agency.
How will people benefit from participating in the study?
A new and additional treatment option, if the previous drugs have not given the expected result or the treatment has been discontinued due to side effects.
Continuous medical monitoring during the study.
Constant possibility of contact with the research doctor and nurse.
Are you eligible to participate in a clinical trial?
According to the study criteria, the necessary medical examinations are performed at the study center to determine eligibility for the clinical trial.
The responsible study doctor will explain to you the risks and side effects, as well as the treatment regimen and the length of the study. Depending on this, you can decide whether participation in the study is suitable for you or not. Participation in the study is voluntary and you can withdraw your participation at any time.
