CLINICAL RESEARCH AT THE POLYCLINIC

The Polyclinic clinical research department was founded in 2010 and works with a number of physicians in several therapeutic areas. Each study is administered by a Polyclinic physician who is assisted by the staff of the research department. The Polyclinic recognizes research as integral to its mission of providing high-quality, comprehensive, personalized health care.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study in which participants help physicians find ways to improve health care. Each study tries to answer scientific questions and to find better ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat a condition or disease.

Why participate in a clinical trial?

Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research.
