Abstract
Clinical trials are research studies that involve patients. Their purpose is to check whether the new treatment is safe and how effective it is. Comprehensive primary health care is not provided as part of clinical trials. Most clinical trials provide relatively short-term treatment for certain conditions. Patient participation in a clinical trial is voluntary and free of charge. At each stage of the clinical trial, the patient has the right to obtain information about his health from the doctor. Treatment costs (e.g., cost of study drugs, specialist tests, and medical care) are borne by the study sponsor. Not every willing patient can be included in a clinical trial, because each trial has a precisely defined so-called inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. The doctor checks all the conditions a patient must meet to be included in the study and all the factors that make it impossible to take part in the study. It should be very clearly stated that, in accordance with the requirements of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), only the attending physician (researcher) is entitled to include the participant in the clinical trial, so he will make the final decision (1) Thanks to the cooperation of the family doctor with the research team, the participant will be he was sure that his other medications and treatments did not conflict with the protocol in the proposed clinical trial. Therefore, the patient's participation in the clinical trial and care provided in a primary care center are very important.
