Volunteer for Clinical Research Trials

Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical research trials

​

Dr. Yates enjoys providing direct patient care, but he also helps with research studies aiming to bring new and exciting medical treatments to the market. Research can potentially help many more people than Dr. Yates is able to help on a one to one basis in his office visits.

​

Why is research important? All of the treatments available today were once in the research phase, and data was carefully collected in order to gain FDA approval and be made available to the public. 

​

Why might I want to help? Psychiatry is a dynamic field with very exciting developments in the pipeline. Without volunteers, the research cannot be completed.

​

Will I get paid? Dr. Yates only partners with sponsors who provide payment to volunteers. Clinical trials should provide payment to volunteers because volunteers must be trusted to abide by all of the rules of the study and attend all follow up visits on time to ensure accurate and safe data collection. Otherwise the data cannot be trusted.

How do I know if it's safe? 

   - Phase 1 trials are done to determine whether a new treatment is safe. Dr. Yates does not participate in Phase 1 trials. 

​

   - Dr. Yates helps with Phase 2 trials, which means safety has already been established. Phase 2 is done to determine how helpful the new treatment is.

​

   - Dr. Yates also helps with Phase 3 trials, which determine whether the safe and helpful new treatments are better than old treatments.
