Volunteer for Clinical Trials in New Port Richey or Palm Harbor, Florida
Are you thinking about enrolling in a clinical trial? If so, Suncoast Clinical Research likely has a research study for you. With locations in New Port Richey and Palm Harbor, Florida, we conduct a wide variety of trials relating to a number of conditions, one of which might offer a treatment that could help what’s ailing you.
What Is a Clinical Trial?
Before you choose to volunteer for a research study, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the process. Pharmaceutical companies are continually developing treatments for various conditions to help patients improve their quality of life. Before a treatment can be administered on a wide-scale basis, its effectiveness must first be examined. To ensure safety, all clinical research is regulated by the federal government in addition to being reviewed by independent ethics committees.
The purpose of a clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of potential new treatments or, in some cases, to compare medications that are already approved and available by prescription. There are even clinical trials to test medications that will be manufactured in a different facility to verify continued efficacy and safety. There are also trials to compare medications with a bioequivalent, or generic, version. During each of these clinical trials, physicians and other research professionals administer the investigational treatments to patients like you. Throughout the trial, you’ll work closely with the research staff to assess how well the treatment is working for your condition.
The Benefits of Enrolling in a Clinical Trial
As a participant in a research study, you can expect to receive:
- Attentive medical care from specialists who know your condition (at no charge to you)
- Access to treatments before they become widely available
- Compensation for your time and travel
Perhaps one of the most gratifying benefits of volunteering for a clinical trial is the sense of accomplishment that comes with making a contribution to modern medical research. As a volunteer, you’ll help develop treatments that could ultimately help others lead better and more satisfying lives.
