Reasons And Benefits of clinical trials

Clinical Trials Reasons And Benefits Should
Know!!
2

• In a clinical trial, participants get particular
  interventions based on the investigators'
  research strategy or procedure. Medical products,
  such as medications or equipment, procedures, or
  changes in participants' behavior, such as food,
  are examples of interventions.
• Clinical trials may compare a novel medical
  technique to an existing standard, a placebo that
  includes no active substances or no treatment at
  all.
• Some clinical trials compare and contrast
  treatments that are currently available. When
  researching a new product or strategy, it's
  common to be unsure if it will be beneficial,
  damaging, or ineffective, or not at all different
  from the available alternatives.

• Phases are also used to describe clinical trials
  in medication development. The FDA clinical
  studies have established these phases (Food and
  Drug Administration). Every clinical study has a
  clinical investigator, more often a medical
  doctor. Clinical studies can be sponsored or
  funded in locations like hospitals, universities,
  clinics, etc.

• There are inclusion and exclusion criteria based
  on characteristics such as age, gender, previous
  treatment history, stage and type of disease, and
  other medical conditions. Being monitored by IRB,
  some clinical trials are additionally being
  monitored by data monitoring committees. Let us
  learn more about the reasons, benefits, and
  medicare coverages of clinical trials.

• Reasons For Conducting Clinical Trials
• Finding strategies to avoid the early development
  or recurrence of a disease, illness, or condition
  by evaluating one or more therapies (for example,
  medications, medical devices, surgical
  procedures, or radiation therapy).
• Medicines, immunizations, and lifestyle
  modifications are just some of the options.
• Taking a look at one or more treatments aimed at
  detecting or diagnosing a specific disease or
  condition.

• Methods for detecting an illness or its risk
  factors are being investigated.
• Exploring and evaluating approaches to improve
  the comfort and quality of life of persons with
  chronic illnesses by providing supportive care.
• Benefits of Clinical Trials
• By contributing to research, you may assist
  others who are suffering from the same disease.
• You might get a treatment that isn't offered
  anywhere else. This treatment may be more
  effective or safer than current alternatives.

• This may enhance the number of treatment options
  available to you.
• Taking a more active part in your healthcare
  management may help you feel more in control.
• Your healthcare team will likely see you more
  frequently to monitor your disease and check for
  adverse effects from the new treatment.
• Certain research sponsors may pay for some or all
  of your medical care and other expenditures
  during the trial.

Medicare Coverage For Clinical Trials

• Many of the usual medical costs for persons with
  cancer who are enrolled in approved clinical
  trials are covered by Medicare. Usually, medicare
  covers any cancer care when it is part of either
• A cancer clinical trial or
• A cancer clinical trial supported by the National
  Cancer Institute (NCI), NCI-Designated Cancer
  Centers, NCI-Sponsored Clinical Trials
  Cooperative Groups, or any federal entity funds
  cancer research.
• In a nutshell, the FDA clinical studies play an
  essential role in conducting clinical trials.
  Clinical trials do contribute to medical
  knowledge, and the trial results can make a vast
  difference in the future by providing information
  about the various aspects of interventions.
