Any person with the condition being studied who meets all of the study specific criteria can volunteer to participate in a trial. Every trial has very specific requirements such as age, sex, weight and a specific diagnosed medical condition. The doctor overseeing the clinical trial reviews each potential participant’s medical history to determine if that person is eligible. Known side effects and potential risks, as well as all study procedures, will be thoroughly explained to potential participants by either the Principal Investigator or the study coordinator prior to participation. In addition, Saltzer Clinical Research always maintains strict confidentiality regarding information about individuals who participate in clinical trials.
