The Reason Behind Low Volunteer Participation In The Clinical Trial


Clinical trials are last hope of the survival for the patients who are suffering from the uncured diseases, but we still find the scarcity in the volunteer participation of the clinical trial. Digging deep into the reasons behind the scarcity of contributors to the clinical trial is lack of accessibility to the clinical trials.  Recent studies say that most of the people do not participate in the clinical trial either due to unawareness about such treatment option or due to no reference of the treatment from their physician due to lack of information. lack of volunteer participation is stumbling the progress of the clinical trial and the result is the delay caused in bringing the new effective treatment to the world. The clinical trial sponsors should take the initiative of spreading the information about the clinical trials using the current technology like social media network.

Clinical Trials Ensures Many Benefits To The Patients Of Type-I Diabetes

The recent clinical trials opened the new doors for the new drug for patients suffering from the type-I diabetes. The drug after continuous research of the medical experts was experimented over volunteer of the clinical trial by dividing them into two groups. The active group was given the drug for two years at the regular intervals of three months and the second group was given the placebo treatment. Both the groups were given insulin to support their glucose levels. 

The medication was formulated to test the ability of patient’s pancreas to secrete insulin The results after a year showed that patients treated with the drug for more than year showed higher pancreas function than placebo group. There were incident side effects between the two groups. Though the analyzed results are evaluated, the final report of the trial is yet to be evaluated.

The Long Run Of Drug Development Process


The new innovation in the medical field always a excitement, but do you know about the long term effort that is invested behind these drugs that hit the public market today. The answer form most of them would be no. Do you believe that it takes almost a decade for few drugs to enter into the public market? The investment that is taken for the development of the drug is not little, it will cost you millions. Why is this involving such a huge investment and needs such a long duration? Is it due to the negligence of the medical experts or the delay caused by the other staff of the drug development process, the answer would be a definite no. There lies number of steps for the drug development process. It has to pass through the number of regulatory authorities to seek the approval.
Thomas Edision tried 100 times to bring in the best result, the medical experts becomes a replicates of the Edision. Thousands of the research trials are conducted before the drug formulation and the drug development is finalized.

What is Covered by the Health policy in the Clinical Trials?


Clinical trials are expensive, most of the participants slant of the medical reimbursement due to their financial instability. One should understand that the health policy does not cover the total costs of the clinical trial. Includes and excludes of the health policy should be notified to the participant before he/she takes part in the medical trial.

The costs those are generally included in the health plan if the test undergone is the part of the clinical trial requirement. Any additional medication or the doctor visits in this regard will be covered by the health policy. The consequences of the clinical trials tests also will be taken care. 

The costs will not be covered by the health policy if the trial proves to be investigational and there is no established data to determine the safety and efficiency. The products provided by the sponsor for the free of cost will not be covered in the health plan.

Determinants Of Reimbursement In The Health Plans Of The Clinical Trials


Health plans are financial weapons of the volunteers in defending the costs of the medical trials, I can say. It is very important for one to know about the determinants of clinical trial health plans.

The health plans will differentiate the clinical trial service into two types namely established and investigation. The policy coverage will be decided based on the service provided in the clinical trial conducted. The health policies slant towards the making the reimbursement for the established policies because the established clinical trials have the scientific data to prove the medication is safe and efficient. If the qualified data is not established, the health plans may label the medical trial under the investigation category. This is because the health plans think that the trial is conducted establish the enough data for the safety and effectiveness of the clinical trial studied.

There are few criteria set by the health plan in deciding the coverage of the health plan. They at times take the credentials of the sponsor into the consideration. Your reimbursement will be done based on the sponsors whose view and oversight of the trial is careful and scientifically rigorous, according to standards set by them. The next factor that usually decides the health coverage is trial phase and type. Some health policies may reimburse only particular phase of the clinical trial by doing case to case analysis.
