The Skinny on Clinical Trials at DrugTrial.Co.uk

Participating in drug trials is something that can be done several ways.
  1. You participate because you are hoping that participation in a drug trial will help you overcome (or receive a dramatic improvement in) an illness or condition.
  2. You participate, get paid, and help out medical science.
Regardless of which of the above two situations applies to you, you might want to check out http://www.drugtrial.co.uk.

The Skinny:
The site is a volunteer recruitment online home for the company Paraxel. Paraxel is in the UK, the USA, Germany, and in South Africa.  The website has a lot of information about various clinical trials happening within the company. Here are a few facts:

  • For some clinical trials, you will be paid money at the end of the trial.
  • You do have the ability to participate in more than one trial. Depending on the trial itself, you may need to leave a gap of several months between trials
  • Examples of trials could include areas such as: asthma, headaches, and other areas.
  • Trials have multiple phases: Phase I  trials, Phase II  trials, Phase III  trials, Phase IV trials. Click trial phases for more info on each.
  • Paraxel is recognised as a highly qualified clinical research service company. Their main website is:http://www.parexel.com
  • If there are no opportunities for your involvement right now on their site, you can still register to be considered for future clinical trials. Get more info at http://www.drugtrial.co.uk.
