FAQ
- What is COVID-19?
The newly identified coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by a virus called SARS-CoV 2. First identified in China in December 2019, COVID-19 has infected hundreds of thousands of people around the world. While this coronavirus is new, it is not the only coronavirus. Coronaviruses were first identified in the 1960s, commonly infect people and are associated with the common cold. Learn more about COVID-19.
- What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a voluntary research study conducted in people and designed to answer specific questions about the safety or effectiveness of drugs, vaccines, other therapies or existing treatments. Participants are recruited based on specific factors, like diagnosis and age. There are two main types of clinical trials: interventional and observational. In an interventional study, participants receive a specific drug, device, or procedure, or may be asked to change habits like diet or exercise. This may help determine if the new intervention helps, harms, or is of no additional value. In an observational study, participants are observed without an intervention or change of habit.
- Why should I participate in a clinical trial?
Clinical trials must be conducted to advance healthcare and bring new drugs and devices to market. People participate in clinical trials for various reasons, which may include access to new treatments; additional medical support for an existing health condition; and the desire to help others and contribute to medical research.
- Can I still see my regular healthcare provider if I participate?
Yes, you can still see your regular healthcare provider and are encouraged to do so prior to participating in the study. Although a clinical study may provide participants with medical products or interventions, it will not provide complete healthcare. Talk to your healthcare provider before enrolling in a clinical trial to make sure the study interventions will not conflict with your current medications or treatments.
- Will I get compensated for participating in a clinical trial?
Clinical trial compensation varies. If a trial offers compensation, participants may receive money, reimbursement of travel expenses, food or vouchers, or other services. Contact the trial coordinator, referral coordinator, or the protocol assistant to learn more about the compensation for the trial.
