Frequently Asked Questions About Participating
Why do clinical trials exist?
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that all prescription medications be evaluated for safety and efficacy before they are marketed to the public. So before a new medication can be made available, it must undergo extensive testing. Clinical trials are part of this testing process.
Why do people participate in clinical trials?
People participate in clinical trials for many reasons. Often they have tried the treatments that are currently available for TRD and have found that it did not work for them, so they would like to try something new.
Sometimes patients participate to help further medical research. They understand how important it is that new medications are available for TRD, and want to do their part to help. Other times, a patient may not be able to afford the most current treatment available for their depression, and clinical trial participation offers a research medication at no cost.
