Understanding the Phases of Clinical Research at CIS Gurnee

When you participate in a study at our Gurnee clinic, you are joining a specific "Phase" of research. Each phase is a critical step in ensuring that new treatments are both safe and effective before they are released to the public.

Phase I: These initial studies focus on safety. A small group of volunteers helps doctors determine the best dosage and identify any side effects.

Phase II: Researchers look at how well the treatment works for a specific condition while continuing to monitor safety in a larger group.

Phase III: This phase involves larger groups of people to compare the new treatment against current standard options to prove its effectiveness. Many of our Gurnee Internal Medicine studies fall into this category.

Phase IV: These studies occur after a treatment has been FDA-approved and is on the market. They help researchers gather more information on long-term benefits and risks in the general population.

At Clinical Investigation Specialists, we believe that the future of medicine starts with our local community, and we are proud to provide the Gurnee area with a compassionate, expert-led environment where your health and safety are always our first priority.
