Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I consider participating in a clinical trial?

Clinical trials provide access to cutting-edge treatments, vaccines, and medical devices not yet available on the market. You receive free diagnostics, medical care, and ongoing support from a team of experienced professionals - while contributing to future breakthroughs in medicine.

What should I know about informed consent?

Informed consent is a document that clearly outlines the study’s purpose, procedures, possible risks, your rights as a participant, and contact information for the research team. You are encouraged to read it carefully, take it home, and consult with family or your doctor before signing. Participation is always voluntary.

Are there any risks in participating?

As with any medical intervention, there can be risks such as side effects or limited effectiveness. Some participants may receive a placebo. However, all studies are approved by Ukraine’s Ministry of Health and overseen by ethics committees. Your health is closely monitored throughout.

Are clinical trials still being conducted in Ukraine during the full-scale invasion?

Yes. Clinical trials continue successfully in Ukraine. ClinicalTrialsUA has maintained uninterrupted operations by adapting infrastructure, securing safe trial zones, and ensuring full compliance with international standards.

We conduct studies only in stable, secure regions away from active conflict. Our facilities meet all GCP requirements, including shelters with backup power and ventilation. All safety measures are approved by independent ethics committees.

Is it ethical to conduct trials during full-scale invasion?
