Participating in a clinical trial is an opportunity to change the lives of real people. If you are dealing with\u00a0a serious health condition, you know the importance of effective treatments.\u00a0These are being developed all the time, but the process takes time. New drugs can take 10 years to become available to the general population to pass through all the phases of clinical trials. To make matters worse,\u00a0over 75% of clinical trials fail due to lack of enrollment.\u00a0That is why your involvement is so important for the advancement of medicine and helping future generations \u2013 possibly your children and grandchildren!<\/p>\n<p>At Clinvest Research, we study\u00a0treatments for headaches of all types, as well as\u00a0fibromyalgia, arthritis, back pain, diabetes, hypertension, Alzheimer&#8217;s, and heart disease. Clinical trials consist of 4 phases, each of which asks a key question about the treatment being studied. Clinvest Research specializes in\u00a0Phases 2, 3 and 4.\u00a0Gaining an understanding of the drug\/treatment approval process highlights the importance your participation.<\/p>\n<h5>The phases of clinical trials<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Phase 1: Is it safe?<\/strong>\u00a0The purpose of Phase 1 clinical trials is to test a treatment on a small group (20-100) of\u00a0typically healthy people to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects. At this point, the treatment has already been found safe for animals. Those\u00a0who volunteer for\u00a0Phase 1 trials are often the first to receive a new treatment. Phase 1 trials usually span several months and approximately 70% of\u00a0treatments move to Phase 2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 2:\u00a0Does it work?<\/strong> The drug or treatment is given to a larger group (200+) of people with the condition the drug is intended to treat. The\u00a0goal at this stage is to study the\u00a0effectiveness\u00a0of the drug and to further evaluate its safety. This gives researchers a chance to refine questions, develop methods, and design Phase 3 trial protocols. Phase 2 trials run several months to several years, and approximately\u00a030% of treatments\u00a0move to Phase 3.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 3: Is it better than what is already available?<\/strong> The treatment is given to\u00a0as many as\u00a03,000 people affected by\u00a0the condition in question. The goal of these trials is to confirm the drug&#8217;s effectiveness, monitor side effects, and compare it to commonly used treatments. Phase 3 studies provide the most safety data due to the fact that these studies are larger, and may\u00a0span many years. They\u00a0are pivotal in determining if the drug is beneficial to the affected population. The ultimate goal of Phase 3 studies is to find out if the new treatment is better than standard treatment, or has\u00a0fewer side effects. If the treatment\u00a0meets FDA standards, it will be approved for a specific use.\u00a0Approximately 25-30% of drugs move to phase 4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phase 4:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>How does it perform in the long run?<\/strong>\u00a0Phase 4 studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed &amp; approved by the FDA. These studies focus on various populations and an even larger group of volunteers to continue monitoring the drug&#8217;s effectiveness, and any side effects associated with long-term use.<\/p>\n<p>This holiday season, consider becoming a medical hero by participating in a clinical trial.
