THE RESEARCH PHYSICIAN ABOUT THIS RESEARCH

Additional information

Although the compound is still early in development, it has been administered to overweight and obese, but otherwise healthy, humans. Safety and tolerability of the compound were comparable with other  compounds of the same category. Participants reported gastrointestinal-related side-effects, most commonly decreased appetite. In general, these side-effects were mild. You may also experience other, yet unknown, side effects. Prior to the medical screening, you will receive written information about the trial, which also describes the possible side effects. This information will also be discussed with you at the start of the medical screening. You can then ask questions to the screening physician or nurse. Once everything is clear to you, you can decide to give written consent to participate in the trial. The medical screening will only take place after you have given written consent to participate in the trial. We want to emphasize that even after giving written consent, participation in any clinical trial is voluntary. You can decide at any time not to participate or to stop the medical screening or the trial. You do not need to provide a reason for why you no longer wish to participate.

Veelgestelde vragen

Je mag maximaal 4 keer per jaar deelnemen aan een onderzoek. Tussen twee onderzoeken moeten minstens 30 dagen zitten. Voor sommige onderzoeken geldt een langere wachttijd.

 

Je kunt tijdens het onderzoek last krijgen van bijwerkingen. Voordat een geneesmiddel op mensen mag worden getest, is het al uitgebreid onderzocht in een laboratorium. Daardoor kunnen we goed voorspellen welke bijwerkingen je eventueel kunt krijgen en kunnen we je daarop voorbereiden. Het komt dus bijna nooit voor dat deelnemers last krijgen van onverwachte bijwerkingen. Een allergische reactie op het middel komt gemiddeld bijvoorbeeld één keer per jaar voor.

Als je meedoet aan geneesmiddelenonderzoek, moet je een paar keer per dag iets doen voor het onderzoek, zoals een test of gezondheidscheck. Maar je hebt ook veel tijd voor jezelf! In het onderzoekscentrum vind je van alles om die tijd mee in te vullen. Er zijn bijvoorbeeld computers, Playstations, tv’s met Netflix, maar ook een tafeltennistafel, pooltafel en een dartbord. En natuurlijk is er wifi, dus neem gerust je eigen laptop of tablet mee. Sommige deelnemers gaan voor hun werk of studie aan de slag. Maar je kunt natuurlijk ook een paar dagen lekker ontspannen.

Hoeveel geld je krijgt voor jouw deelname aan een geneesmiddelenonderzoek, wordt bepaald door de duur van het onderzoek. Hoe langer het onderzoek duurt, hoe hoger de vergoeding. Maar er zijn meer factoren die de hoogte van de vergoeding bepalen, zoals speciale medische handelingen.
