Frequently Asked Questions

Privia physicians lead clinical trials across many therapeutic areas with the goal of helping patients and finding advancements in medical care. Below are answers to commonly asked questions.

What is a clinical trial?

Clinical trials help to find new and better ways of preventing, diagnosing and treating disease. Results from a clinical trial determine if a medicine or intervention is ready for the public.

What happens when you participate in a clinical trial?

Before participating in a clinical trial, you will complete the Informed Consent process to ensure that you understand the study details, including potential risks and benefits. If you choose to participate and sign the informed consent form, you will complete a screening visit, receive the study medication or treatment, and follow-up complete study visits with the clinical research team.

Are clinical trials safe?

While studies have strict protections, there is always a balance of risk and reward to any clinical study. Be sure to discuss your concerns with the research study team as well as your physician. If you decide to enroll in a trial, you will receive all the information necessary to give permission prior to any procedure or treatment. The informed consent documents also include a description of the procedure or treatment, potential risks or benefits, length or participation, and alternative treatment options.

Are patients required to participate in a clinical trial?

No. Participation in clinical research is always 100% voluntary. Your standard medical care will not be impacted if you choose not to participate in a clinical trial.

Why should I participate in clinical research?

Clinical research can benefit you in the near-term, as well as help others in the future. By participating in clinical trials, you receive highly attentive care, including diagnostic assessments that may not otherwise be available. Your cost of care can be offset, and your treatment could potentially lead to improved health outcomes.

Who can participate in clinical research?

Each clinical trial has different eligibility requirements relevant to the scope and purpose of the trial. Patients of all ages, racial and ethnic groups are needed for clinical trials. Diversity of participants is important to ensure the results can be applied to our diverse population. Results from clinical trials help determine if a medicine or medical device is ready to go to market, or if it needs more testing. As a patient, you have an opportunity to contribute to medical advancements simply by participating in clinical research.

Clinical Research As A Care Option

I was able to schedule my appointment during my lunch break at work and was so happy to get face to face communication, medication changes, lab review, and more from the comfort of my office!

My doctor is knowledgeable and caring. She always takes the time to answer my questions. She never rushes and explains everything thoroughly before any procedure or exam. She is one of the best doctors I’ve had the privilege to know.

[My doctor] makes you feel like you are his only patient for the day — not rushed, and always kind and respectful. He even calls you himself to give the lab results. Our family loves him!
