It all starts with an open conversation with your doctor, a physical examination, and a review of your medical records. If we decide together that the study drug would be appropriate and safe for you, we move to the next step.
A detailed diagnostic workup follows, giving us the most complete picture of your health. Based on those results, participation in the trial begins – which may involve standard therapy, the study drug, or a combination, depending on your individual needs.

It’s important to note that all diagnostic and treatment costs within the clinical study are covered entirely by the study sponsor – usually the international pharmaceutical company developing the drug. For you, this means top-quality medical care at no additional cost.
Our team is with you every step of the way, providing support, safety, and an individualised approach at every stage of treatment.

Taking part in a clinical trial is organised carefully to make your experience as straightforward and safe as possible. You’ll come to Solmed Polyclinic and our partner institutions for regular study visits and diagnostic tests, and you’ll receive your therapy (standard medication and/or the investigational drug) on a pre-agreed schedule.
This structured approach lets us follow your progress closely and respond quickly to any change or potential side effect.

Throughout the process, you’ll be under the attentive care of an experienced team of leading doctors and always-available study coordinators at Solmed Polyclinic, there to answer all your questions and provide support whenever needed.
Our team brings together specialists from several disciplines to give you the highest level of care:

• Clinical pharmacology specialist
• Specialist in the relevant medical area
• Diagnostic specialists from our partner institutions
• Study coordinators
• Study nurses and laboratory technicians
• Administrative staff

Your journey through the clinical trial will be a shared effort — built on trust, expertise, and commitment to your health.

We understand your concern. It’s important to know that during treatment for any condition, with any drug, there is always a possibility of unexpected events — a disease may progress despite therapy, side effects may appear, or an unrelated new condition may develop. These situations, though rare, are also possible during a clinical trial.

What we want to stress is that we identify any change in your health in a timely manner. The trial protocol includes regular, more frequent check-ups and an obligation to report and thoroughly investigate every adverse event immediately.
If mild symptoms arise, our specialist team at Solmed Polyclinic or our partner institutions will address them right away. For more serious issues, thanks to pre-established cooperation agreements, timely hospitalisation can be arranged at one of the public hospitals.

We also want to highlight three particularly important points:
1. Taking part in a clinical trial does not expose you to unnecessary or additional risk — our primary goal is your treatment, not merely testing the drug.
2. If treatment with the investigational drug doesn’t produce the desired results, we will arrange access to other available therapies as quickly as possible.

Yes. Treatment with the study drug will be stopped in the following situations:
• If we determine the drug isn’t sufficiently effective for your treatment.
• If we suspect certain symptoms may be side effects of the investigational drug.
• If you yourself decide you no longer want to take the investigational drug.

It’s important to note that you can continue taking part in the clinical trial even if you decide not to take the investigational drug.
The goal is your safety, comfort, and the best possible treatment outcome, with full respect for your wishes and decisions.

No. You can only be enrolled in a clinical trial if, after careful evaluation, we conclude that the investigational drug is the best option for your treatment at that time. Your health is our primary goal, so even if your condition isn’t currently well controlled and your therapy needs to change, we won’t enrol you in a clinical trial if there are more effective or safer therapeutic options for your case.
Every decision is made individually, carefully, and responsibly, with full respect for your health interests.
