Why Participate in a Clinical Trial?

Participating in a clinical trial offers several benefits for individuals seeking to play a more active role in their healthcare. It provides access to cutting-edge treatments and therapies before they become widely available. Additionally, by joining a clinical trial, participants contribute to the advancement of medical research, potentially helping others with similar health conditions in the future.

What is a Clinical Trial?

A clinical trial is a research study designed to explore new treatments or therapies and is typically focused on health-related or biomedical research. These studies follow strict protocols to ensure the accuracy and safety of the research process. At Peninsula Research Associates, we conduct two types of studies: interventional and observational.

• Interventional studies involve assigning participants to specific treatments or interventions, with outcomes measured to assess the treatment's effectiveness.
• Observational studies involve monitoring participants without assigning treatments. The investigators observe natural outcomes to gather insights.
