| What are Clinical Trials? |
| They are research studies that answer specific questions about vaccines, new therapies or new ways of using known treatments. Clinical trials are used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are safe and effective. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find treatments that work. |
| Why participate in clinical trials? |
| Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. |
| What is a “Healthy Volunteer Study”? |
| When a company makes a new laboratory machine to analyze blood, or when a new methodology is developed for doing a lab test on blood, those medical advancements need to be tested. Whether it is the calibration of the machine, or to develop standards for “normal” vs. “abnormal” for a new test, blood samples from a wide range of people are needed in order to test the new machine or the new test.
The healthy volunteer studies conducted at Rochester Clinical Research typically involve drawing several tubes of blood from the study volunteer, for which the volunteer receives a small monetary stipend, and the satisfaction of helping others by advancing medical science. RCR is currently enrolling patients for a “healthy volunteer study”. |
