Q: What is a Clinical Trial?

Answer: A clinical trial is a scientific study with the purpose of finding out how well new drugs, treatments, or medical devices work to treat a specific disease or condition. At CEALH, we closely supervise, monitor, and document the entire study, making it as safe as possible for participants.

Q: Who Can Participate?

Answer: Clinical trials are open to the general public. Each trial has different guidelines regarding the types of participants who may be eligible. Typically, factors such as age, individual and family history, and ability to comply with study regulations determine who is eligible for a given study.

Q: Why Should I Participate?

Answer: Even if you’ve never considered being a part of a clinical trial, your participation could provide you with the unique benefits associated with these studies.
	Once qualified, participants may have the opportunity to receive the latest treatment and medications before they appear on the market. You will receive expert medical care throughout your participation in the trial. Your participation can lead to profound breakthroughs in the treatment of chronic diseases. You may be compensated for your time and travel.

Current Clinical Trials:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
