Clinical Trials

Innovative Health Clinical Research is a group specializing in providing clinical research services for pharmaceuticals, nutritional and CROs.

Our main focus is phase II, III and IV research. We conduct numerous FDA supervised investigational medical studies that eventually will aid the approval of new treatment options. We are constantly conducting new studies and can help you find out if you qualify for one of our clinical trials.

We are an internal medicine practice, thus this gives us the flexibility to conduct studies in a broad spectrum of fields. Here at Innovative health, we also have board certified specialists associated with our practice which serve as co-investigators and consultants.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN A RESEARCH STUDY?

WHAT ARE CLINICAL TRIALS AND WHY DO PEOPLE PARTICIPATE?

Clinical research is medical research that involves people like you. When you volunteer to take part in clinical research, you help doctors and researchers learn more about disease and improve health care for people in the future. Clinical research includes all research that involves people.

Types of clinical research include: 

  • A potential volunteer talks with her doctor about participating in a clinical trial.
  • Epidemiology, which improves the understanding of a disease by studying patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease in specific groups.
  • Behavioral, which improves the understanding of human behavior and how it relates to health and disease.
  • Health services, which looks at how people access health care providers and health care services, how much care costs, and what happens to patients as a result of this care.
  • Clinical trials, which evaluate the effects of an intervention on health outcomes.

WHAT ARE
CLINICAL TRIAL PROTOCOLS?

Clinical trials follow a plan known as a protocol. The protocol is carefully designed to balance the potential benefits and risks to participants, and answer specific research questions.

 A protocol describes the following:

  • The goal of the study
  • Who is eligible to take part in the trial
  • Protections against risks to participants
  • Details about tests, procedures, and treatments
  •  How long the trial is expected to last
  • What information will be gathered

A clinical trial is led by a principal investigator (PI). Members of the research team regularly monitor the participants’ health to determine the study’s safety and effectiveness.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CLINICAL TRIALS?

There are different types of clinical trials.

  • Prevention trials look for better ways to prevent a disease in people who have never had the disease or to prevent the disease from returning. Approaches may include medicines, vaccines, or lifestyle changes.
  • Screening trials test new ways for detecting diseases or health conditions.
  • Diagnostic trials study or compare tests or procedures for diagnosing a particular disease or condition.
  • Treatment trials test new treatments, new combinations of drugs, or new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy.
  • Behavioral trials evaluate or compare ways to promote behavioral changes designed to improve health.
  • Quality of life trials (or supportive care trials) explore and measure ways to improve the comfort and quality of life of people with conditions or illnesses.This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires.

WHY PARTICIPATE IN A CLINICAL TRIAL?

By being part of a clinical trial, participants may find out about new treatments before they are widely available. Some studies are designed for, or include, people who are healthy but want to help find ways to prevent a disease, such as one that may be common in their family.
