Welcome to your Clinical Research Educational Hub! Here, you’ll find valuable information about clinical studies – from how they work to ways to get involved. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge, helping you make informed decisions about your health and treatment options.
Clinical studies have four phases, each with a different purpose.
Researchers usually work with a small group of healthy volunteers or people who have the condition the drug is meant to treat. This stage can last for several months.
This phase can last from several months to up to 2 years.
Researchers also watch for any side effects and compare them to standard treatments. This phase can last anywhere from one to four years.
During this phase, researchers watch for long-term effects and gather more information about how well the treatment works for everyone in the general population.
