Clinical Research
Centennial Medical Group in partnership with
Rx Trials Inc. now provides
the opportunity to participate in clinical research studies that
we feel provides many benefits to participants. Some of the benefits of clinical research studies
to participants are:
- The availability of new treatments and medications that have
not yet been released for sale,
- The ability to contribute to the advancement of medicine so that others may benefit,
- Medications and medical testing at no cost to
patients, and
- Reimbursement for the transportation costs of participating
in the trials.
-
Please call your physician or our
study coordinators, Kim Moore or Arlene Posadas at 410-799-1695 if
you have any questions about any of the studies listed, or if you may
want to participate in future trials.
FAQ's
Participating in clinical research is important for the
development of new medications and new treatments. Only after the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has approved new medications can physicians
prescribe medication. We depend on volunteers like you to participate in
clinical research and help to develop new medications.
Your participation begins with the informed consent document. This form is
reviewed by an independent ethics board to ensure its accuracy and compliance
with ethical standards. The form includes information about the potential
benefits as well as potential risks of participation in the study. Any
questions you have after reading the form will be answered by our staff. Once
enrolled in the study, you will have your vital signs taken, a physical
examination, and usually an electrocardiogram (EKG) and blood tests will be taken. Once you
meet the qualifications, you are given the study medication. There is no cost
for these services and you may receive compensation for the cost of
transportation once you are enrolled into a study. The independent review
board constantly monitors the study to ensure the safety of study volunteers.
We try to make your visit a comfortable and enjoyable
one. You will cared for by our physicians and study coordinators, all of whom
are experts in their fields. Our research staff are not rushed and have the
time to listen to your concerns and questions about your clinical study. We
are glad to help you understand your condition and how the clinical study
might benefit you.
