What is a clinical research study?

What is a Clinical Research Study?

A clinical study is used to determine the safety and efficacy of a potential new treatment. This treatment could be a medication or a device or even a procedure and involves human volunteers. Clinical studies are designed differently depending on the desired outcomes. The treatment being explored might be a brand new concept or it could be an industry standard that is being looked at under new parameters.

There are a wide variety of clinical studies at Bexley Dermatology Research and we pride ourselves in finding the right study for you.

What can I expect at my first visit?

What can I expect at my first visit?

Upon arrival, someone from the study team will escort you back to one of our private exam rooms to begin introducing the trial to you. This starts with the Informed Consent Process in which your study team member will make sure you have all the information you need and all your questions answered so you can decide if you want to participate in the trial.

If you decide that you do want to participate, our team will collect some of your basic data and medical information to confirm you are eligible to participate. How long the visits take and exactly what information is collected varies from study to study. This first visit is usually referred to as the screening visit and is the first step in participating in research.
