LEARN ABOUT CLINICAL TRIALS

Clinical trials are studies conducted to evaluate new drugs or medical devices, with volunteers playing a crucial role in testing these innovations. Physicians use clinical trials to determine the safety and effectiveness of new treatments. Such studies are essential for developing therapies for severe health conditions, including lung diseases.

​

Participating in clinical trials can provide unique benefits, such as early access to advanced treatment options or medical devices not yet widely available. Volunteers often find fulfillment in contributing to the advancement of medical research.

​

Clinical trials are categorized into various types and progress through sequential phases (Phase I to Phase IV). Even after a trial demonstrates the efficacy of a therapy, approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is required before it becomes publicly available.

 

Participation in clinical trials is entirely voluntary. Eligible individuals have the freedom to decide whether or not to take part.

 

Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial may be right for you. You can also learn more about clinical trials at clinicaltrials.gov.
