There are a variety of reasons why people decide to participate in a clinical drug trial. Many times these trials offer promising new drugs to patients long before they are available to the general public. Sometimes the drugs are lifesaving in that no current therapies treat or cure a specific disease or ailment. Other times the drugs are improvements of therapies that are currently available in the marketplace. For instance, a drug that must only be taken once daily is preferred over an equivalent drug that must be taken three times per day. Or a new drug with the same benefits but fewer side effects would be preferred over an existing drug treating the same disease. Regardless of the type of study, there is one thing identical for all studies conducted at Willamette Valley Clinical Studies ; patients receive excellent care from the physicians and study coordinators during the course of participating in a clinical drug study. read more news
