When the project starts, we select the volunteers to be called according to the objectives and endpoints defined in the protocolIn clinical research, a protocol is a document where one can have a complete description of a given investigation: purposes, way it will be conducted, number of subjects included, contributors, statistics aspects, etc. It is an essential document dated and approved both by the sponsor and the investigator.

When the day arrives, a doctor will discuss, with you, how the exam is conducted. He will also answers all your questions. He makes sure that there are no contraindication (such as claustrophobia, piercing, ferromagnetic prosthesis, pregnancy, etc.). You will then be asked to sign a consent formA Consent form is a signed document that confirms that a volunteer, “healthy” or sick, agrees to participate in a specific clinical study. In order to make the consent valid, the person who signs the document must do it in a free and informed way. It means they are not compelled to sign it (in any way), and must have completely understood what is going to happen during the study they take part in, and how it is conducted. Thus, before the exam, a doctor systematically delivers complete information on the investigation purposes, on the way it is conducted, and he answers all the questions that may have the future subject. For some investigations (called non-interventional), consent is not required. Then we talk about a non-opposition, i.e, a tacit agreement. It means that the subject who participates in a given investigation agrees that their data are used, for instance. However, they can make an opposition to their doctor. More. NB: You can decide to stop your participation at any time. |
