How Clinical Studies Work

Clinical trials play a crucial role in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of medicines, medical devices, vaccines, and diagnostic tests. Every treatment prescribed by a doctor has gone through rigorous clinical trials, providing evidence of its safety and effectiveness to the FDA. While clinical research can lead to groundbreaking discoveries that save millions of lives, at Healix Clinical Research, we follow a carefully structured process to ensure consistency and reliability for every participant involved in the study.

 

PRE-SCREENING

You’ll need a few things to apply

  • No insurance needed
  • Discuss the details of the study
  • Eligibility review
Once a participant expresses interest, the research study staff or medical professionals leading the study will call to discuss the details to determine the level of interest from the interested party. If the level of interest remains after the pre-screening, a screening appointment will be scheduled.

SCREENING APPOINTMENT

We schedule your appointment

  • Discuss your questions
  • Review the informed consent process
  • Medication review
  • Medical tests and history
At the screening appointment, the medical professional or research team thoroughly discusses the study’s protocols, procedures, treatments, risks, and benefits. They also review the participant’s medical history, current medications, any relevant health concerns, and other criteria to ensure they are a suitable candidate to volunteer for the trial.

CONFIRMATION CALL

Verify Qualification for study

  • If you qualify, we’ll schedule your baseline visit.
  • If you don’t qualify, we’ll thank you for your interest and no other visits will be required.
After the screening tests, the medical professionals overseeing the clinical trial will evaluate each participant’s eligibility based on the results. The study coordinator will then contact you to share the decision. If you don’t qualify for this particular study, we encourage you to apply for future trials—you never know which one might be the perfect fit!

BASELINE VISIT

This is your first official study visit

  • Dispensed the study drug
  • Instructions for dosage
  • Review study protocol
  • Labs or other procedures
During this visit, the study drug is usually provided, along with detailed instructions on dosage, documentation requirements, and other study protocol guidelines. The study coordinator will also set your visit schedule for the duration of the study, ensuring you know when to return for subsequent check-ins.

CLINICAL STUDY VISITS

Your safety is always our primary concern

  • Clinical trials can last for weeks, months, or years,
  • Length of study will determine the number of visits
  • Regularity of follow-up visits are determined by the length of each study
In the early stages of the study, visits are usually more frequent. As the study moves forward, they become less frequent. For each visit, you will need to bring your study medication and any diaries you’ve been asked to fill out. The coordinator will count your medication and provide enough for you to use until the next visit. Additionally, the coordinator may request blood or urine samples, vital sign checks, an electrocardiogram, or other procedures as part of the study.

END OF STUDY

We’ll coordinate with your physician

  • At the final study visit, all unused medication will be collected and you will not receive more.
  • Every study is different, and the actual length of the final visit can vary considerably.

The exams and tests during this visit are similar to those conducted during the screening appointment. To ensure continuous follow-up care, the coordinator will schedule a regular office visit with your physician in the coming months, in line with your usual treatment schedule.

Your study coordinator and/or doctor will provide more details at your screening visit about the expected duration of each study visit.
