Clinical trials are a key part of developing and proving new therapies and treatments for disease. The success of clinical research is dependent on volunteer participation in these trials or studies.

Clinical trials are biomedical or health related research studies that test the safety and efficacy of new medical treatments. The treatments being studied can range from flu-shots to ground-breaking cardiology and oncology therapies.

		Phase I Trials test the safety of a treatment – or any adverse side effects. These studies are generally done with a small group of healthy volunteers over several months.

		Phase II Trials test the efficacy of a treatment – or how well it works. These studies are generally done with a larger group of volunteers who have a specific illness. Usually there is one group of patients that receives the study treatments and another group that receives either a placebo or the current standard treatment for the illness

		Phase III Trials are large scale studies often involving several thousand volunteer patients. Phase III allows researchers to gain a better understanding of the benefits and possible adverse reactions to the treatment on a larger scale and over a longer period of time. After successfully completing Phase III trials, a company can submit the study information to get health authority approval to market the treatment.

		Phase IV Trials are conducted after a treatment has been approved for sale. Phase IV allows companies and researchers to continue to monitor the treatment as well as evaluate how it compares to other treatments available.

		Medical Devices Resolute Clinical has dedicated staff that specialise in conducting Medical Device studies. Examples of such studies include Cardiac devices (e.g. stents, site closure devices), wound healing products, respiratory devices, gastric products.

Participating in Clinical Trials

All clinical research must be approved by a Human Research Ethics Committee before volunteers can be asked to participate.

By participating in an ethically approved clinical trial you are playing an active role in your health care, potentially gaining access to new research treatments, and most importantly contributing to medical research.

As the treatments being studied are very different, each clinical trial has different requirements for participation and offers different benefits to volunteers. Some studies may be looking for healthy volunteers from all backgrounds, while other studies require only patients with a specific illness or of a certain age or gender. Clinical trials offer eligible participants a range of benefits that may not be otherwise available. These may include:

Potential access to the most up-to-date medical treatments for an illness

No-cost medical care: participation has no costs involved and may offer remuneration for time and effort

Studies are conducted by qualified health professionals. Participants in a clinical trial are closely monitored by doctors and other healthcare professionals throughout the course of the study.

The time and effort contributed by clinical trial volunteers makes this research possible.

If you have questions or concerns about participating in a clinical trial, talk to your doctor and visit the websites below for additional information.

Resolute Clinical conducts a variety of clinical trials at several locations throughout Australia. We want to hear from interested volunteers for these and future studies. Please note – participation in a particular trial is only open to those volunteers who meet all of the screening requirements.

We are currently recruiting volunteers for the following clinical trials. Please click on a trial for more information or to join the trial:
