WHAT ARE CLINICAL TRIALS?

Clinical research is a vital part of medical science that involves conducting studies to explore new treatments, therapies, and diagnostic methods. By participating in clinical research, you can contribute to the development of better treatments and potentially benefit from cutting-edge therapies. It's an opportunity to receive expert medical care and access to new treatments that are not yet widely available. For those with kidney diseases, joining a clinical study could offer new avenues for managing your condition and improving your quality of life.

ONLINE SCREENING

Sign up for one of our studies and fill out a quick form

SCHEDULE A VISIT

One of our staff will call you to schedule a visit where you will learn about the study. This does not confirm elibigility.

SCREENING

This is where we look at your medical records and run some additional tests to make sure you are eligible for the study. This is also when consent is signed.

RANDOMIZATION

This is when you receive the study medication. You will have different follow up visits to monitor progress. You will be compensated for these.

EOT VISIT

This marks the ending of your part in the study. Final paperwork and physicals will occur during this visit.

  • What are the potential benefits of participating in a clinical trial?

    Participants may gain access to new treatments before they are widely available, receive expert medical care at leading healthcare facilities during the trial, and contribute to medical research that may benefit others.

  • Are there any risks in participating in a clinical trial?

    As with any medical treatment, there are potential risks. These may include side effects from the treatment, procedures that may be uncomfortable or time-consuming, and the possibility that the new treatment may not be effective.

  • Will I be compensated for participating in a clinical trial?

    Compensation for participation varies depending on the study. Some trials provide financial compensation, while others may offer travel reimbursements or free medical treatment. Details about compensation will be provided before enrollment.

  • What happens after a clinical trial is completed?

    After a trial is completed, the data is analyzed to determine the effectiveness and safety of the intervention. Results are often published in scientific journals and may lead to further research or the development of new treatments.

  • What is the difference between a Phase II, Ill, and IV clinical trial?

    Clinical trials are conducted in phases, each with a different purpose. Phase I tests safety and dosage, Phase II evaluates effectiveness and side effects, Phase III compares the new treatment against current treatments, and Phase IV occurs after FDA approval to monitor long-term effectiveness and safety.

  • Can I leave a clinical trial once it has started?

    Yes, participation in clinical trials is voluntary, and participants can withdraw at any time for any reason without penalty or loss of benefits to which they are otherwise entitled.

  • What studies can I participate in?

    Determining your eligibility for a clinical trial involves evaluating various factors such as your age, health condition, medical history, and specific criteria related to the study. To find out if you qualify for any of our current or upcoming clinical trials, we encourage you to fill out our online screener. This screener is a simple questionnaire that helps us assess your suitability for a trial based on preliminary information. Once completed, our team will review your responses and get in touch with you to discuss potential trial opportunities that you may be eligible for.
