Study Participants & Patients

Clinical research is an integral part of modern medicine, because the development of new drugs is impossible without it. A clinical study is the scientific investigation of the safety and efficacy of a medicinal product. Clinical studies are typically conducted with the participation of people. Thanks to such studies, reliable information can be obtained about a drug’s efficacy, side effects and safety profile. It should be noted that a new drug simply cannot be registered without clinical trials — and without registration a drug cannot be sold on the market. Negative results of clinical trials can also be grounds to refuse registration. That does not mean the trials were conducted in vain: even negative results allow scientists to move forward and find safer treatments.

Granconsult constantly runs a fairly large number of clinical studies, so there is always an opportunity to become a study participant. Taking part in a clinical study gives you the chance to be part of medicine that serves people, saves lives and treats severe diseases. Everyone who decides to take part in a clinical study has their own reasons. Motivations may differ greatly:

- some do not want to miss the unique chance to get a consultation from a top specialist and be under their observation for some time;

- for others the motivation is the opportunity to be useful to society in the search for effective medicines;

- others may see receiving compensation as the goal.

Whatever your reasons, our company gives you the opportunity to become a meaningful part of medicine, helping the search for new effective drugs. If you want to become a clinical-study participant, simply register on the website and you will be added to the volunteer database.

Of course, participation in clinical research will take time and effort, so you need to be prepared. It is also very important to read the informed-consent document in advance — it specifies the criteria for inclusion in and exclusion from the clinical study. Our specialists approach participant selection carefully and thoroughly.

Safety of clinical research

Study participants make a huge contribution to the development of medical science, helping to create modern treatments and bringing benefit to future generations.

Clinical studies are safe for their participants for several reasons:

• Research on new drugs is not an end in itself for pharmaceutical companies — it is one of the most important and mandatory stages of development aimed at subsequent drug registration and clinical use.
• Clinical studies are conducted in strict compliance with all ethical standards and principles, such as voluntary participation, informed consent and non-harm. The informed-consent document describes in detail the purpose and methods of the study, the product under investigation, the treatment course and the possible risks. Protecting the interests of the patient is the top priority.
• Every clinical study is performed according to a carefully designed plan that has been approved and reviewed by independent experts. To approve the plan, the review must show that potential risk to participants is reduced to the lowest possible level. Full confidentiality of the participants is guaranteed.
• The safety of participants is further ensured by special government protocols that regulate the clinical-research process. If new data about the investigational drug alter the balance of benefit and risk, the study is stopped immediately.

Key benefits of participating in a clinical study

By taking part in a clinical study, you gain access to modern effective treatments and the newest drugs before they reach pharmacies. You will be able to receive medical care free of charge and undergo a professional examination under the supervision of leading, highly qualified investigators at the research center. Clinical trials are fully funded by the pharmaceutical company. While receiving the newest medicines, you are not putting your health at dangerous risk, and at the same time you bring invaluable benefit to others who need treatment.

Contract Research Organizations (CROs) are currently recruiting volunteers for clinical studies of latest-generation drugs. Participation is voluntary and compensation is paid depending on the drug and its dosing schedule. We have completed many successful projects through which our products have reached many pharmaceutical markets and have been widely used in clinical practice.

Our mission is to find and apply the newest effective drugs and successful treatment methods. Become a clinical-study participant — register on the website, because your participation will help not only us but also everyone who needs medical treatment today!
