Through this partnership with Rovia Clinical Research, Hattiesburg Clinic continues its commitment to patient-centered care while supporting research that shapes the future of health care.
Why Participate in Clinical Trials
Clinical research plays a vital role in the advancement of medicine. Many of today’s treatments and therapies exist because individuals chose to participate in clinical trials, helping physicians and researchers identify safer and more effective ways to diagnose, treat and prevent disease.
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and are closely monitored by physicians, researchers and regulatory bodies. Studies must meet numerous standards before they begin and throughout the research process to ensure the safety and well-being of participants.
Participating in clinical trials gives patients the opportunity to access new therapies and contribute to medical knowledge. All care is monitored by experienced physicians. There is no cost to patients, and insurance is never billed. Participants typically receive compensation for time and travel. Participation is voluntary, and patients can withdraw from a clinical trial at any time without penalty.
