A clinical research study, also known as a clinical trial, is a medical study that helps to answer important questions about investigational medicines, such as:
Is it safe?
Does it work?
Are there side effects?
All medicines must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved for doctors to give to patients. Without people taking part in these studies, we would not have new medicines.
Your wellbeing and safety are the most important parts of a clinical research study.
Before a clinical research study can begin, a team of experts makes sure it is safe and ethical. Ethical means that the study is honest, and fair, and treats people with respect. These experts check that the possible benefits of taking part in the study are greater than the possible risks.
Before you decide if you want to take part in a study, the possible risks will be explained in detail to you. This step is known as “informed consent.”
If you qualify for and agree to participate in the study, you will not have to pay for the investigational medicine. In addition, reimbursement for study-related travel expenses may be available.
When the research study is over, the sponsor may seek to publish the results (in a scientific journal, for example). Study results will also be posted on ClinicalTrials.gov after all study participants have completed the study and study data has been analyzed. Your identity will remain confidential and participants will remain anonymous to the sponsor. Only overall summary data results from participants will be publicly shared. Research results will never contain your name and will never publicly report your individual data.
Research studies are designed in specific ways to test investigational medicines for safety and efficacy. One or more of the answers that you provided were outside of the guidelines for the study. This does not mean you will not qualify for different research studies.
Yes, there are placebos in some of these studies. If you prequalify for a study, the study center staff can answer any questions you may have.
A placebo is a substance that looks like the investigational medicine but contains no active ingredients.
This program will be investigating multiple different medicines related to chronic weight management, diabetes, and associated diseases. If you prequalify, the study center staff can answer any questions you may have.
Do not discontinue any medication unless you are advised to do so by the study center staff or your primary care provider.
Each study in this program has a different schedule. If you prequalify, the study center staff can answer any questions you may have about the study duration and visit schedule. You can also leave a study at any time for any reason.
