What is a Clinical Trial?
Welcome to University Orthopedics Center’s (UOC) Clinical Trial Site. Clinical Trials are voluntary research studies that doctors and other health professionals perform according to strict rules set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA sets the rules to make sure that people who agree to be in the studies are treated as safely as possible. The trials are designed to answer specific questions about the safety and/or effectiveness of drugs, vaccines, other therapies, or new ways of using existing treatments. Please access the following websites for additional information: www.clinicaltrials.gov and www.fda.gov/oashi/clinicaltrials.
All clinical trials have strict guidelines on who can and can not participate. Before joining a clinical trial each participant must qualify for the study by using specific criteria called inclusion and exclusion criteria. These criteria help ensure that your physician and other researchers will be able to answer the questions they plan to study. For more information on any of UOC’s trials please contact trials@uoc.com.
UOC is currently involved in over 10 clinical trials. Please contact the research department at trials@uoc.com or 814 272-3691.
