What Happens After the Trial?

At the conclusion of a clinical trial, the HRHR staff will make sure that all participant questions are fully answered. Common questions center on the future availability of the study medications, additional available treatments, and the interpretation of any important health information revealed through lab work, other study related medical tests and your physical exams.

The HRHR staff and supervising physician strive to insure that volunteers leave each trial with a plan for continuing treatment by your family physician and/or a referral to a specialized health professional when warranted. Volunteers are treated professionally, with compassion and with the utmost attention to personal privacy. A recent survey of patients completing different studies at our office found that 92% report a very positive experience when working with HRHR.

The staff at Health Research of Hampton Roads views each trial volunteer as a partner. This partnership between volunteer patient and doctor centers on the pursuit of a common goal. The goal? A commitment to improving quality of life through the careful study of better medical treatments.
