What is a clinical study?
The goal of clinical research is to help people live longer, healthier lives. To achieve this, researchers develop medications that are designed to prevent diseases or improve their treatment. Testing takes place in clinical studies.
During a clinical study, researchers aim to find out whether an investigational drug:
- Has the intended effect
- Is safe to take
- Has any side effects
- Works better than other medications
- Can make you feel better
Types of clinical studies
There are 4 phases of clinical research. Each phase has a different purpose to help researchers answer different questions about an investigational drug. Phase 1 and 2 studies may look at whether an investigational drug is safe or causes side effects. Phase 3 studies may compare the investigational drug with other treatments already approved for the same purpose.
When the investigational drug has passed 3 phases, it is ready to be prescribed to patients. Although the medication is approved for use, it still needs to be monitored. During Phase 4, researchers monitor how well the medication works over a longer time period.
The 1501-0004 Study is in Phase 2.
Who is involved in clinical studies?
Clinical studies take place in clinics, hospitals, healthcare facilities and even in your own home. During a clinical study, you will be supported by a dedicated team of researchers, doctors and nurses. Each member of the study team is committed to your safety and well-being.
Clinical studies give you access to potential future treatments.
