Signing Up After A Study
You’ve finished the study and you find that volunteering for clinical research is all right in your book. So now you want to do another study. All clinics have a minimum wash out period of 30 days, however, sometimes you can sign up and screen for another study within that period. This is not always true and depends on two factors. 1. The clinic. Some clinics base the washout from the last does and some base it on the last participation date ie out patient. 2. The sponsor. Some drug companies will specifically request that participants have not participated in a study in the last 30 prior to signing up. So basically, Once you get out of a study and are completely done with everything, look for upcoming studies that start after your 30 days and sign up. Sometimes you won’t be able to but the clinic will usually tell you why.
