FAQ

Phase I studies are studies conducted in healthy adults to determine the safety (presence or absence of side effects) and pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed and excreted by the body) of a drug under development. Bioequivalence studies are studies to determine whether a drug already approved as a pharmaceutical product is bioequivalent to a drug under development with the same ingredients.
Bioequivalence means that the drug enters circulating bloodstream of the body at the same rate and in the same amount.

A generic drug is a drug manufactured and sold after the patent for a new drug has expired, made with the same active ingredients as the new drug, and approved by the government as being equivalent to the new drug in terms of efficacy and safety.

It is the time that must elapse before you can participate in a clinical trial.
Clinical trials involve many elements (e.g., medications, blood draws, various tests, etc.) that can be physically demanding. The time required for the body to fully recover from the effects of these factors is called the drug withdrawal period. （The withdrawal period is calculated from the date of the last dose of the previous study to the date of the first dose of the next study.)
The withdrawal period depends on the type of clinical trial but is usually 3 to 4 months. (If you have previously participated in a clinical trial at another site, please allow 4 months.)

We do not charge any fees to the participants (subjects) in the clinical trials.
We are a facility specializing in clinical trials and contracts and fees are exchanged directly with major pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, we do not charge any fees from the time of enrollment to the time of withdrawal. We are not affiliated with any sites that charge information fees for participation, such as high-cost medical part-time jobs, new drug part-time jobs, and high-cost short-term jobs.

For the dates indicated as "no smoking" in the eligibility criteria, nicotine levels may be measured by urine test at the time of pre-test or admission. Although nicotine metabolism varies from person to person, our site uses 200 ng/mg as the standard for determination. Please note that regardless of whether you smoke or not, nicotine levels are also increased by secondhand smoke.

Although not many, we also have clinical trials for women, and we will contact enrollees when they are conducted.

At our site, priority is given as follows
1) Those with previous pre-test dates that they have attended (those with previous pre-test applications for the same dates will be given priority).
2) Those with better test results.

For each clinical trial, the time and number of blood draws, medical exams, etc., will be determined, as will the time you wake up, go to bed, and eat.
During the rest of the day, you are free to study, use the computer, read manga, or do whatever you like as long as it does not disturb others. However, you are not allowed to go out.

Since the clinical examination at our site is not for medical checkups, we do not accept requests for copies or review of the results.

We do not provide hospitalization certificates or any other certificates.

We do not perform any procedures with financial institutions such as utility bills on your behalf to avoid unnecessary problems. Please all necessary procedures are completed prior to admission.
