Why is Screening Important?

Ensures Your Safety and Comfort:

  • The screening process is essential to determine whether a clinical study is appropriate for you. It involves a careful review of your medical history, current health status, and any medications you may be taking. This helps ensure that participation is safe and suitable for your individual health profile. Screening also provides an opportunity for you to learn more about the study procedures, so you can make an informed and confident decision.

Supports Study Accuracy and Integrity:

  • Screening is vital to the scientific integrity of a clinical study. Every study has specific eligibility criteria designed to ensure that the right participants are selected. By confirming that these criteria are met, screening helps researchers gather reliable data and draw accurate conclusions—ultimately contributing to the development of safe and effective treatments.
