What it is
Clinical research studies, also called clinical trials, are how new treatments, medications and devices are tested before they can become widely available. Every approved medicine was once studied with the help of volunteers who chose to take part.
Sablefish offers opportunities to take part in clinical research. The studies we're enrolling change over time, so the best way to find out what's available is to contact us.
Why people take part
- Access to investigational treatments at no cost
- Compensation may be available for qualifying studies
- Studies typically include regular check-ins with the study team
- The chance to help advance medicine for others
How it works
- Reach out Call or email us and tell us a little about yourself and what you're interested in.
- Screening The study team checks whether you meet the study's requirements. Every study has its own eligibility criteria.
- Informed consent Before anything begins, you'll receive a full explanation of the study, including its schedule and possible risks and benefits, with plenty of time to ask questions.
- Study visits If you decide to join, you'll follow the study schedule and the team will keep in touch with you throughout.
Good to know
- Taking part is always voluntary, and you can leave a study at any time.
- An investigational treatment is still being studied. It may not work for you, and it can have side effects. The study team will explain what's known before you decide.
- Some studies compare a treatment with a placebo, an inactive substance, so not every participant receives the investigational treatment.
- In the United States, clinical studies are reviewed by an independent ethics committee, called an IRB, that helps protect the rights and safety of participants.
