What is 1nHealth?
We connect people with clinical trials.
Here, you’ll find a fuller look at what that means, how we fit into the clinical research industry, and who turns to us to help fill their studies.
Big Picture.
To explain what we do, here’s a timeline of a treatment going to market. Let’s use a new psoriasis treatment as an example.
A company develops a new treatment, like a drug for psoriasis. Early research gathers the data needed to show whether it’s safe and worth studying in people.
A pharmaceutical, medical device, or biotech company funds the process to move a new treatment into clinical trials, where studies are carefully designed to test its safety and effectiveness.
Specialized organizations, called Contract Research Organizations (CROs), oversee these trials. They make sure each study follows the rules and collects accurate results.
This is where 1nHealth comes in. We connect people who may want to join with the clinical trials that need participants.
We reach people online who may be interested in joining a study and connect them with opportunities to take part.
Participation is vital.
Clinical trials depend on people who choose to take part. Every participant helps move research forward, and we’re grateful for your consideration.
Clinical Trials.
Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. They help researchers and medical professionals evaluate new medical, behavioral, or surgical approaches to see how they work.
Clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of new treatments before they reach the market. Researchers spend years studying treatments with different groups of people to make sure every detail is reviewed. Regulatory agencies oversee this process from start to finish to ensure safety.
Before a governing body (like the FDA in the U.S.) approves a trial to begin, extensive lab tests and studies are done to check a treatment’s safety and effectiveness. Only then can the four phases of clinical trials start.
Focus on safety
Phase 1
The first phase focuses on safety. Researchers give the new treatment to a small group of healthy adults to identify any possible side effects.
Check effectiveness
Phase 2
This phase looks at whether the treatment works. Researchers study a larger group of people with the condition to see how effective it may be and continue monitoring safety.
Effectiveness across populations
Phase 3
The largest and most diverse group of volunteers participate in this phase to check the treatment in different populations of people and, if needed, possible dosage before government board approval.
Long-term efficacy & safety
Phase 4
This is the stage of trials that occurs after the government board approval, where the efficacy and safety are continuously monitored in diverse and large populations of people in the market over a longer period of time.
Why Participate?
There are real benefits to joining a clinical trial:
- Try new treatment approaches before they’re widely available
- Contribute to research that could improve care for others
- Receive compensation for your time and effort in many studies
- Play an active role in shaping the future of health care
