Clinical trials are tests that are used to help determine the effectiveness and safety of medical treatments. These medical treatments might be drugs, diagnostic equipment and procedures, medical devices and other therapies.
Clinical Trials are health-related research and biomedical studies on people that follow pre-defined protocols. How Clinical Trials work may vary depending on the kind of trial being conducted.
GW Research conducts clinical trials in San Diego County, mostly for gastro-intestinal and conditions. Your participation in a clinical trial helps on many levels. Not only will you be helping to treat a condition that affects thousands of other people, you will likely be helping yourself, too. Even if the initial response to study medicine is not significant, we will make every effort available after the study, to help you deal with your condition.
