Participating in a clinical investigation can be a rewarding experience. Here, we give you a rundown of the things you need to know and what to expect should you choose to volunteer with Bioluminux.
Be a Volunteer
If you have ever taken prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, your life has been touched by clinical research and the contribution of hundreds or thousands of clinical trial participants. Through the important clinical research process, medicines, medical devices, and vaccines are developed for those who need them most.
A clinical research study involves trying new medication on human volunteers, the goal being to answer specific questions relating to the treatment, to test its effectiveness and to determine how best the medication should be used.
When you participate in a clinical trial, you will be welcomed by our professional and caring staff who will guide you through the process and help you feel comfortable and appreciated as a research trial participant. You will visit the investigator (doctor) or other members of the study team for health assessments, physical exams, laboratory tests, or other procedures required by the study protocol. It is important to us that you feel confident about being a clinical trial participant.
