Clinical Trials

Most of the effective treatments used today were tested through clinical trials or research studies. Patients participate in clinical trials in an effort to cure their disease, prolong life, feel better or aid in research that could help others. Participation is voluntary at all stages of the process. Research studies at Emory are federally regulated and approved by the Emory University Human Investigation's Committee (HIC). The purpose of the HIC is to protect the patient. It is composed of scientists, doctors, clergy, and local community citizens. The HIC reviews all studies for safeguards and reasonable risks in relation to potential benefits.

The Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics team can provide information about Emory's current trials.

If a patient wishes to participate, she will be monitored throughout treatment and follow-up. Data collected will be recorded, reviewed, analyzed and shared with other research teams throughout the world.
