Why Volunteer?

A healthy clinical trial volunteer is an adult without any significant or pre-existing health problems. Healthy volunteers contribute:

• essential information about how the medication is absorbed, distributed, and excreted by the body
• help in determining initial dosage levels for patient volunteers

Information from clinical trials:

• helps regulatory authorities around the world decide whether to approve a drug for use in their country
• guides health professionals in their decisions about prescribing drugs or other treatments to patients
• assists consumers with the proper use of over-the-counter and prescription medications
