Clinical Research Studies Aim to Advance the Treatment of all Conditions, Including Early Symptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease.
The main objective of a clinical research study is to answer questions about the safety and effectiveness of potential new medications. These studies must be completed before a new treatment can be offered to the public. Right now, there are over 300,000 clinical studies in progress all over the world.
For each research study, researchers develop eligibility criteria, such as age, gender, previous treatment history, and other medical conditions. It is important to test medications and medical products in the people they are meant to help.
Participating in a clinical research study presents many benefits, including:
- Getting actively involved in your own healthcare
- Gaining access to investigational treatments
- Having access to specialists in the condition being studied
- Helping others by advancing medical research
