Volunteers often participate in trials because they are not satisfied with current treatment options?

What is a clinical trial?A clinical trial is a type of research that investi-gates whether a particular drug can be used to treat human conditions and diseases. Clinical trials fol-low a protocol which clearly defines what the trial is investigating (e.g. how effective 5 mg of drug A is at reducing blood pressure) and how the study should be conducted (e.g. drug A is administered orally every morn-ing at 8 am and blood pressure is measured every evening at 4 pm). Clinical trials are designed specifically to determine whether the drug under investigation would improve outcomes (in our example, this would mean lower blood pressure) while ensuring patient safety.

How, as a participant, is my safety ensured while involved in a clinical trial?As previously mentioned, clinical trials are carried out following a strict protocol. Patient safety is the number one priority in a study and every clinical study is executed under the supervision of a medi-cal doctor (also known as a principal or qualified investi-gator) and qualified medical staff who have received training in research ethics and safety (i.e. a certifi-cation in Good Clinical Practice). All studies are also monitored by ethical and legal regulatory bodies such as the Institutional Review Board and Health Canada that ensure patient well-being remains a priority. All information collected is kept confiden-tial and is never disclosed to individuals outside of the research.

Why should I considerparticipating in a clinical trial?Clinical trials are meant to offer innovative treat-ment options to patients who suffer from various conditions. By electing to participate in a clinical trial, you are electing to further investigate the treatment of a given medical condition or disease, and to help identify a potential cure. Individuals who participate in clinical trials are often those who have unsuccessfully tried available treatment options. As a participant in a clinical trial, you are essentially afforded the opportunity to be more at-tentive in your health care while aiding the pro-gression of medical research.
