 What You Need To Know About Clinical Trials (Before You Need One)

For those patients who choose to participate in clinical trials, it is important to understand that much is unknown about the treatment being tested: whether or how well it works, if it is safe, and what side effects may result, in the short or the long term. Because of these unknowns, there are potential risks to enrolling in clinical trials, along with potential benefits.

Jodi Dixon: Taking part in clinical trials – what is it like to be a human guinea pig?

Medical school had educated me on the existence of clinical trials but it had definitely never occurred to me that I could take part in one. Stepping forward into the world of unlicensed medication was something someone else did – not me.

Do Clinical Trials Work?

The rules that govern study enrollment end up creating trial populations that invariably are much younger, have fewer health complications and have been exposed to far less medical treatment than those who are likely to use the drug. Roughly 53 percent of new cancer diagnoses, for example, are in people 65 or older, but this age group accounts for just 33 percent of participants in cancer drug trials.

This is why you shouldn’t believe that exciting new medical study

In 2009, a breakthrough: a charming Italian researcher, Dr. Paolo Zamboni, claimed to have cured his wife's MS by "unblocking" the veins in her neck. He theorized MS wasn't an autoimmune disorder but a vascular one. The research was counterintuitive, it gave people with the disease hope, and it had an appealing personal tale behind it, involving one man's quest to save his wife. It was catnip for health reporters, who hailed "liberation therapy" as a romance-fueled medical triumph. Sadly, however, Zamboni's discovery was more hype than breakthrough.

What the Gardasil Testing May Have Missed

There’s no evidence that the HPV vaccine causes serious harm, but an investigation shows the trials weren’t designed to properly assess safety.

Common Myths Related to Clinical Trials

Clinical trials play a crucial role in advancing medical research. Many people are often hesitant to consider participating in a clinical research trial because they don’t fully understand the process, or they’ve heard some misleading things. Let’s discuss some of the many common myths surrounding clinical trial participation.

New Rules Will Change How Research on Humans Is Disclosed

Under new, expanded guidelines on clinical trials, scientists must register a larger portion of their research in a public online repository.

The fascinating history of clinical trials

Here are some of the key moments in the history of clinical trials that led to the type of trials we see today for COVID-19.

A surprising amount of medical research isn’t made public. That's dangerous

When the results of clinical trials aren’t made public, the consequences can be dangerous — and potentially deadly.

Are Big Clinical Trials Relevant? Researchers Disagree

Sweeping clinical trials in which thousands of patients are studied for years at a stretch have long been the Holy Grail of medical research—especially when funded by the federal government.

Electronic medical records make possible a new research model based on real-world evidence.

Global Trials: Navigating Complex Hurdles

All clinical trials come with their own complexities. Sponsors must tackle an intricate web of regulatory issues, approval time frames, operational challenges, and perhaps the greatest hurdle of patient recruitment and retention. And, these challenges are heightened in global clinical trials.
