  • Clinical Trials/Research/Studies
  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Clinical Trials

What are clinical trials?

DotS the definition of clinical trials may vary. The (United States) National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) definition is:

“Clinical trials are part of clinical research and at the heart of all medical advances. Clinical trials look at new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease”.2

In NIH Clinical Research Trials and You: The Basics – What Are Clinical Trials and Why Would I Want To Take Part? the NIH also explain:

“Clinical trials can study:

  • New drugs or new combinations of drugs
  • New ways of doing surgery
  • New medical devices
  • New ways to use existing treatments
  • New ways to change behaviors to improve health
  • New ways to improve the quality of life for people with acute or chronic illnesses”.3

Goal

What is the goal of clinical trials?

In NIH Clinical Research Trials and You: The Basics – What Are Clinical Trials and Why Would I Want To Take Part Part? the NIH elaborate on:

“The goal of clinical trials is to determine if these treatment, prevention, and behavior approaches are safe and effective”.4

Hormone Therapy

Where may women find information about participating in hormone therapy clinical trials?

Menopause societies may not conduct clinical trials however their members may. In Participate In Medical Research the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) explain:

“NAMS does not conduct clinical research, but many of its members do. And choosing to take part in a clinical trial is an important personal decision. It’s best to know as much as possible about the study and to discuss it with your healthcare provider before participating. Be sure to review the privacy policy of any website posting clinical studies, and avoid giving personal identifying information online”.5

In Participate In Medical Research: How To Participate In Clinical Studies the NAMS also note:

“For those women looking for menopause-related clinical trials or market research, the U.S. National Institutes of Health through its National Library of Medicine offers a broad list of clinical studies, plus comprehensive information and a glossary of terms for those who may want to learn more”.6

Health Care Provider

What if I would like to participate in a HT clinical trial?

If you would like to participate in a HT clinical trial, it may be in your best interest to choose to talk to your health care provider about this.

In Understanding Research: Who Can Participate In Medical Research? the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health elaborate on:

Hormone Therapy Clinical Trials

“Nearly every woman can qualify to be part of a medical research study at some time. However, each study will have a specific set of criteria for participants. Observational studies and phase I clinical trials generally include a wide range of participants. If you are currently healthy, but at some risk of developing a disease (perhaps because of your family history), you may qualify for a prevention study. If you have a health condition, you could consider entering a clinical trial to test a treatment”.7
