Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A clinical trial is a voluntary medical research study conducted to test either medications or devices made by pharma or medical device companies. In the United States, pharmaceutical companies are not permitted to evaluate whether the drugs they create are safe and effective. For this reason, a neutral third-party, such as Quantum Clinical Trials, is contracted to assist in running the study.

There are four phases in clinical trials: Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, Phase IV. Medications and devices must successfully pass through one phase to be approved for the next. At Quantum Clinical Trials, we successfully conduct all four phases. Phase I studies test whether a medication or device is safe. Phase I studies may require overnight stays in our state-of-the-art facility. Phase II studies test the effectiveness of a drug. Phase III studies confirm the positive results regarding the safety and effectiveness of a drug. Such studies are conducted on a much larger group of people. Phase IV studies occur to analyze the medication’s performance in real-life scenarios and/or study the drug’s long-term risks and benefits.

There are many reasons people participate in clinical trials. Some of the most important reasons to participate include access to medical information, advancing medical science, and possible relief from your symptoms and problems.

• Medical information:Every participant in our clinical trials receives a free medical evaluation, which includes a medical examination and your vital signs. This examination may also include an analysis of your labs.
• Advancing medical science:Your participation in a clinical trial may help make the world a better place. Clinical trial results provide researchers and patients with detailed information on both the benefits and potential treatments’ risks.
• Relief from symptoms:You may be experiencing medical problems and, even after trying the current standard of care treatment(s) available, you have not found a treatment that worked for you. A new investigational product may offer the relief and benefit that you are seeking.

Participating in a clinical trial is free. Every participant in our clinical trials receives a medical evaluation. At a minimum, this includes a medical examination and your vital sign s. This examination may also include an analysis of your labs, all at no cost to you. Participants may also reimbursed per scheduled visit for time and travel. The exact amount of compensation varies with each study.

No, you do not need health insurance to participate. If you have health insurance, your insurance will not be billed.

Each study has different participation requirements. Please review the studies on our website to see if you may qualify.

Our medical trials typically take 3 – 6 months to complete.

Your participation is voluntary. If you decide you no longer wish to participate, you may leave the study at any time, at no cost, with no questions asked.
