What is a Clinical Trial?

A clinical trial is a research study in human volunteers to determine the safety and efficacy of a new medicinal product. Pharmaceutical companies conduct clinical trials on their new products before they are approved by the government to market and sell their products.

Clinical trials offer safe medical treatment because the subjects are carefully supervised with physicians and nurses by way of several visits at a medical clinic. Clinical trials must be approved by the federal government and by an ethics committee before subjects receive the new products.

To qualify for a clinical trial, subjects are required to pass a medical examination conducted by a physician. The participation to clinical trials is voluntary. Subjects can withdraw at any time.

The information that is collected during clinical trials remains confidential. The identity of the subjects enrolled in clinical trials is not revealed to anyone.

Depending on the project, the clinical trials of Acclaim Pharma Research Inc. may involve patients to treat an illness or healthy volunteer subjects.

The specialty of Acclaim Pharma Research Inc. is the conduct of bioequivalence studies. They are also known as bioavailability studies or pharmacokinetic studies. The main characteristic about these trials is that the participants are healthy volunteers. The objective of a bioequivalence trial is to determine if a generic pharmaceutical product is equivalent to the marketed product. The determination of bioequivalence is made with the analysis of drug content in the blood samples collected at various times after the administration of the new product. Hence, bioequivalence studies include the collection of blood draws.

Depending on the projects, the volunteers are generally housed in the clinic for one or more days and sleep in well-designed dormitories. Food is catered and served free-of-charge. The volunteers are reimbursed financially for their participation. To participate in a study with Acclaim Pharma Research Inc, click here.
