What are Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials are studies that help us find out if new medical treatments, devices, or therapies are safe and effective. These trials are critical to developing new solutions for some of the most common and challenging health conditions. At Redbird Research, we are dedicated to advancing medical science through well-designed clinical trials, in psychiatry and central nervous system (CNS) disorders, and beyond.

By participating in a clinical trial, you are not only contributing to the progress of medical research but also gaining access to potential new treatments that are not yet available to the public. Our trials are conducted under strict ethical and scientific standards to ensure the highest level of safety and care for all participants.

Why

Why Participate in a Clinical Trial?

Your participation helps researchers develop new treatments that can improve the quality of life for people affected by various medical conditions. Every participant plays a vital role in moving science forward.

Clinical trials offer you the chance to receive new therapies that could be more effective than current options available.

Participants receive regular health check-ups and monitoring throughout the trial period. Our dedicated team is committed to providing comprehensive care and addressing any concerns you may have.

By joining a clinical trial, you contribute to the broader community, helping others who may benefit from the treatments being studied. Your involvement can pave the way for new solutions that might become standard care in the future.

At Redbird Research, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. Before joining a clinical trial, you will receive detailed information about the study, including potential risks and benefits. Our team will be available to answer all your questions, ensuring you have the knowledge needed to make an informed decision.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some of our most frequently asked questions

What are my responsibilities as a participant in a clinical research study?

As a participant in a clinical research study, you have several important responsibilities:

Read the consent form thoroughly and ask the study staff any questions you may have. It’s essential that you understand what will happen during the study before agreeing to participate.
Consider the potential benefits and risks of being in the study and discuss them with the study staff or your doctor if you have concerns.
Follow all study instructions and any restrictions, including taking medications exactly as advised by the research staff.
Attend all scheduled visits and be on time. Your participation and consistency are crucial to the success of the study.
Report any issues or side effects with the study medication, procedure, or device to the study staff right away.
Avoid pregnancy while participating in the study, either for yourself or your partner, if applicable.
Answer all questions honestly to help ensure the study results are accurate and reliable.
If you decide to leave the study at any time, speak with the study staff so they can guide you on the next steps.

What is a placebo?

A placebo is a substance or treatment that looks like the real treatment being studied but doesn’t contain any active ingredients. If you are receiving oral medication in a clinical trial, all pills, tablets, or capsules look the same and taste the same whether you are receiving a placebo or the research medication. Placebos are used to help researchers understand the effects of the actual treatment compared to no treatment. If you are given a placebo, it will not have any direct effect on your condition, but your participation still provides valuable information to help researchers learn more about the treatment.

Will I know if I am receiving the actual treatment or a placebo?

In many clinical trials, especially those that are double-blind, neither the participants nor the researchers know who is receiving the actual treatment and who is receiving the placebo. This method helps to prevent bias and ensure the study results are reliable. Information about what you received during the study will not be available at the time you complete the study. However, once all study participants across all centers complete the study, this information may become available.

What happens if I experience side effects during the trial?

If you experience any side effects or feel unwell during the trial, it’s important to inform the study staff immediately. You will be closely monitored, and any necessary medical care will be provided. Depending on the nature of the side effects, the study team may adjust your treatment, provide additional support, or decide to withdraw you from the trial if necessary to protect your health.

Can I leave the clinical trial if I change my mind?

Yes, you can leave the clinical trial at any time, for any reason. Your participation is completely voluntary, and you have the right to withdraw without any penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. If you decide to leave, please inform the study staff so they can guide you on the process and discuss any follow-up care that may be needed.
