Trial Overview & Journey Sample
Here we show a clinical trial timeline — what a participant’s trial journey looks like, from the beginning to when they get the results. Each visit ‘milestone’ is explained: just click on the visit name for all the details.
LAST CLINICAL TRIAL VISIT
Similar to the other visits (except that home monitoring is over), this visit doesn’t always mean the journey’s end — the trial may require follow-up visits. Ask when the results will be available, and how you’ll be informed. While your part may be over, the clinical trial itself can last longer.
- Ask any questions you may have
- Physical exam if required
- Discuss medical history change
- Discuss treatment options
The informed consent can be periodically updated during the trial (contact info, location change, side effects, etc.). If/when there are any changes or additions, you’ll be informed by the study coordinator.
- Ask any questions you may have
- Discuss medication you are taking
- Discuss and account for drug intakes; review your diary
- Discuss medical history change
Depending on the trial protocol and medical condition, these could include lab tests, X-rays, CT scan, physical exam, etc.
- Questionnaires on health, work issues, etc.
