Cutting Edge Clinical Trials right here in Lancaster, CA

What Is a Clinical Trial?

It’s when a team of scientists and doctors tries a new medical treatment, drug, device, or method on a group of people to test how well it works.

The purpose of a clinical trial is to find a new and improved way to treat, prevent, or diagnose different types of illness.

In many cases the trial might be for something that is not yet available to the general population of people with an illness. Special allowances are made so doctors can learn more about how well a new approach works. They test the results against the best available current treatments with the goal of finding something better.

This could be especially useful if you have a serious illness and have run out of effective standard treatments.

Only when they deem them safe and useful enough in these early stages does a clinical trial start on people -- first in small groups and then in larger ones.

Why should I participate?

Not only does trial participation drive medical advancement, making it possible to create new treatments and improve old ones, it’s also a way for you to take a more active role in your health. Staying on top of clinical trials means staying on top of the latest research about your condition — and on potential new options for you.

Don’t wait to benefit from cutting-edge study treatments.

When you sign up for a phase 2 or 3 clinical trial, you’re testing a drug that’s already passed initial tests for safety. Clinical trials are your chance to get access to their benefits years before they’re commercially available.

What Are the Different Phases of a Clinical Trial?

Phase I: Doctors give a new treatment to a small number of people to test safety. The researchers find out the best way to give the new treatment, any possible side effects, and safe dosage.
Phase II: The research team tries to figure out how well the treatment works for a particular illness.
Phase III: The team compares the new treatment with the standard treatment and tries to examine the effects of different dosages and combinations of treatments on different populations (e.g., men, women, young, old, and various ethnic groups).
Phase IV: Here, the treatment is tried on average patients who agree to it. The goal is to look for side effects not found in prior phases and to figure out how well the treatment works over the long term. The FDA allows drugmakers to market the treatment during this phase.
