Clinical Trials
Access innovative, cost-free therapies through clinical trials at Pratia
Why Are Clinical Trials So Important?
Every medicine available today exists because it was once tested in a clinical trial.
For many diseases, there is still a global shortage of effective medications, and some available drugs are either ineffective or cause numerous side effects. Clinical trials are the only way to discover new, effective, and safe treatment options. The purpose of a clinical trial may be to confirm the safety and efficacy of a drug or to expand its approved indications.
Benefits of Clinical Trials
Access to Innovative Therapies
By taking part in a Clinical Trial, you gain access to modern therapies that may be more effective or less invasive than existing standard treatments.
Medical Care and Additional Diagnostics
While participating in a Clinical Trial, patients benefit from close medical supervision, which can help identify other health issues at an early stage.
International Medical Standards
All Clinical Trials are conducted following the same high standards worldwide.
Clinical Research for Patients
The goal of Clinical Studies is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of a medication or to expand the indications for its use. They are conducted either with already available drugs or with completely new ones before they are introduced to the market. Clinical Studies are the only way to discover new, effective, and safe treatment methods. They are usually carried out simultaneously at many medical centers around the world. The study procedures and methods of monitoring their effects are carefully designed in advance by research teams in accordance with strict regulations. The top priority of every Study is the safety of participating Patients. All Clinical Studies conducted by Pratia have received approval from an independent bioethics committee and authorization from the relevant authorities. All studies are continuously monitored, and our Pratia Centers are regularly subjected to external audits to ensure safety and quality control.
The Clinical Trial Process from the Patient’s Perspective
From the patient’s point of view, the Clinical Trial process begins with a conversation withthe study Doctor or qualified study member, during which the patient receives detailed information about the purpose of the study, as well as its possible benefits and risks. The patient is given a document called an Informed Consent Form, which explains how the study will be conducted. If the patient decides to participate, they must sign this form. Next, the patient undergoes initial medical examinations, and then, according to the study plan, begins receiving the study medication or therapy. The patient meets regularly with the medical team, who closely monitor their health throughout the trial. At every stage, the Patient can ask any questions and has the right to withdraw from the study at any time without affecting their future medical care.
Defining Features of Clinical Studies
The benefits of participating in a clinical study for the patient must outweigh the risks.
Clinical studies are regularly monitored and audited to verify compliance with the protocol and the principles of good clinical practice.
The patient has the right to refuse participation in a clinical trial or to withdraw from it at any time without consequences.
Participation in a clinical study is completely free of charge for the patient, and the costs of therapy, diagnostic tests, and medical consultations are covered by the sponsor.
