Your Questions, Answered

We understand that joining a clinical trial is a big decision. Here are some answers to the most common questions we receive from patients.

A clinical trial is a research study with human volunteers to help evaluate new medications, devices or interventions. Through clinical trials we are able to assess these new treatments for their safety and efficacy. Trials are a vital step in bringing any new therapy to the wider population.

Clinical trials are an opportunity to access breaking-edge medications, thorough medical at no cost to you, and sometimes financial compensation. You will also be able to help further the field of medicine.

Our data production process is meticulously managed in-house, with strict quality controls to ensure accuracy and reliability.

All medical procedures come with some level of risk. While the studies do their best to mitigate as much risk as possibly, it cannot be completely absolved. Research staff are adhering to strict guidelines, set in place for all trials, to ensure that patient safety is always top priority.

We specialize in GI-related trials, focusing on conditions such as IBS, IBD, acid reflux, and more.

While most studies do not allow patients to be involved in multiple studies at the same time, you can always choose to participate in other studies after your participation ends for one. If you let the research staff know that you would be interested in participating in another trial, we can be sure you are reached out to in the future should another study begin that you would qualify for.

What is IBD?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD is a term used to describe any condition that results in the chronic, long-term inflammation of your digestive tract. In particular, two disorders that may fall into this category are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. IBD can lead to long-lasting inflammation or ulcers in the digestive tract and tends to develop gradually over time.

What Are The Common Symptoms?

Some of the most common symptoms of IBD are similar to that of Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS. These include abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, nausea, gas, diarrhea and/or constipation, mucus in the stool. However, there are also some unique symptoms such as:

  • Severe abdominal pain or cramping
  • Bloody or very dark stool
  • A sudden need to defecate.
  • Rectal pain or bleeding
  • Anemia due to the rectal blood loss
  • Unexplained weight loss
    Joint pain
  • Low-grade fever of unknown origin
  • Unexplained rashes

How Is IBD Treated?

In most cases, the goal of Inflammatory Bowel Disease treatment is to relieve the inflammation that triggers your symptoms. This is often done through medication, surgery, or a combination of the two. Some changes in diet may also be necessary, particularly if certain foods tend to trigger your condition. Nutrition given intravenously or through a feeding tube can provide sustenance while allowing your bowels to rest. This is sometimes performed as an alternative to surgery.
