Participants

Your Role As A Study Participant

As a study participant, you are given the product being tested. Then, after a certain amount of time and at planned intervals, blood and other specimens are collected. These samples are analyzed to monitor the product's performance in or on the body.
We conduct these studies to show the manufacturer how long and how well the
medication works.

Steps of a Study
Screening
Your safety is our primary concern. Before being accepted for any study, you will be given an informed consent packet to read and review, as well as a time and events calendar. You will also complete a medical history packet. We recommend you bring important names or dates concerning your medical history (i.e. dates of surgeries, types of medications). Once you agree to the terms and conditions of the informed consent packet and complete the medical history packet, you will proceed to the labwork portion of the procedure. MDS staff will measure your height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, pulse, perform an ECG and collect urine and blood samples.At this time you will recieve a physical examination by one of out Doctors. The initial labwork process takes approximately 90 minutes.

Results
You will call MDS Pharma Services Results Line for your labwork results. This is a competitive call. You will not receive your results by coming to the facility or by calling any other phone number. You must have your screening ID number in order to receive your labwork results.

Study Acceptance
After recieving your results you will be informed if you are accepted for the study. You will be provided with a date and time for study check-in. You will also be given information and special instructions to follow prior to your check-in. Remember, placement onto a study is never guaranteed. It is ultimately up to the doctor and the client to decide who will be placed onto a study.
