What Are Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials are essential to the advancement of modern medicine. These carefully designed studies evaluate new methods for preventing, diagnosing, and treating health conditions. Through rigorous testing, clinical trials help ensure that medical breakthroughs are both safe and effective before they become widely available.

At RYH, we are dedicated to conducting high-quality clinical research that contributes to medical progress. By participating in our studies, you play a crucial role in shaping the future of healthcare while gaining access to potential new treatments.

Your Journey in 4 Steps

Participating in a clinical trial is simple and safe. First, we’ll guide you through a screening process to see if you qualify, which may include a short questionnaire or basic health tests. If eligible, you’ll be scheduled for study visits where you’ll receive the study treatment or intervention at no cost. There’s no insurance required and no payment on your part to participate. Our medical team will monitor your progress closely to ensure your safety, and you’re free to withdraw from the study at any time.

Screening Visits

Once you meet the initial qualifications for one of our paid clinical trials, you’ll be invited to come in for a screening visit. During this visit, you’ll receive detailed information about the study, and our team will answer any questions you have. Participation is completely voluntary. If you choose to move forward, you’ll be asked to sign a consent form. Depending on the study, we may perform health assessments such as a urine sample, ECG, or lab tests to confirm your eligibility.

Office Visits

If you qualify for the study, you’ll return for scheduled office visits where the study medication may be given, and tests will be performed to evaluate how it’s working. These visits typically include brief check-ups, medical monitoring, and may involve an exam, lab work, or a blood pressure check—depending on the study. Visits can take place over several days or stretch out over a few months. You’ll receive compensation for your time and travel at the end of each visit.

Diaries & Phone Calls

To help track your progress during the study, you may be asked to use an app or complete a digital diary to record important information like how you’re feeling or if you’ve experienced any side effects. This helps our team monitor your health between visits. In some cases, we’ll also schedule brief phone calls to check in—no need to come into the office for these.

Compensation

At RYH, we truly value our volunteers who play a vital role in helping advance potentially life-saving therapies. In addition to receiving complimentary study-related care throughout your participation, you may also be compensated for your time and travel.
