What Happens During a Clinical Trial?
Every clinical trial at the Center for Skin Research starts with a screening process that ensures each candidate is eligible to participate. Once you enroll in a trial, you receive the same care you would receive if you were a patient at either The Center for Medical Dermatology or The Center for Cosmetic Dermatology. We cater to our patients and offer the same nurturing environment that is found in all divisions of the practice. Your research team, which consists of doctors, physician assistants, nurses and clinical research professionals, will give you specific instructions for participating in the trial. Depending on the investigational treatment being tested, you may be asked to take a pill, apply a topical ointment or come in for therapy. All studies require regular visits to the Center for Skin Research so that your research team can monitor your progress. Some trials last as long as 18 months, while others are as short as 8 weeks. During this time, you will receive monetary comp
The clinical trial process depends on the kind of trial you participate in. The team will include doctors and nurses as well as social workers and other health care professionals. They will check your health at the beginning of the trial, give you specific instructions for participating in the trial, monitor you carefully during the trial, and stay in touch with you after the study.
If you decide to participate in a clinical trial, you will work with a research team. Team members may include doctors, nurses, social workers, and other health care professionals. They will provide your care, monitor your health carefully, and give you specific instructions about the study. Taking part in a trial may mean that you will have more tests and doctor visits than you would if you weren’t in the study. Team members also may continue to stay in contact with you after the trial ends. To make the trial results as reliable as possible, it is important for participants to follow the research team’s instructions. That means having all doctor visits and tests, taking medicines on time, and completing logs or answering questionnaires.

The exact clinical trial process depends on the kind of trial being conducted. In general, the clinical trial team includes doctors and nurses as well as social workers and other healthcare professionals. They check the health of the participant at the beginning of the trial, give specific instructions for participating in the trial, monitor the participant carefully during the trial, and stay in touch after the trial is completed. Some clinical trials involve more tests and doctor visits than the participant would normally have for an illness or condition. For all types of trials, the participant works with a research team. Clinical trial participation is most successful when the trials specific instructions (or protocol) are carefully followed and there is frequent contact with the research staff.
