Clinical Site Services (CSS), a leader in patient enrollment solutions for the clinical research industry, announces the launch of its comprehensive website,http://www.MyClinicalTrial.com, which is focused on advancing the significance of clinical research.
"Cyberchondriacs," the term given to online health information seekers, total more than 160 million nationwide. "People of all ages rely on the Internet to find out about their medical condition or research something to discuss with their doctor. They want to feel more empowered," stated Chris Trizna, President of CSS. "Our goal with MyClinicalTrial.com is to provide a gateway for people to become better informed about their healthcare and their treatment options, which may include participation in a research study."
Visitors to MyClinicalTrial.com will find a wealth of information on specific disease states and indications, as well as health-related groups and discussion forums. In exploring a variety of treatment options, they will also be able to search for clinical research studies by illness, zip code, state or travel distance. A registry is also available for those individuals who would like to be contacted in the future about specific research studies.
Investigator sites, pharmaceutical companies and CROs will also find MyClinicalTrial.com valuable, as any study listing posted will be viewed by an engaged audience seeking more information for their healthcare decision-making. Currently, investigator sites are able to post their clinical trial listings free of charge, and sponsors and CROs can list their studies until the end of the year at no cost.
MyClinicalTrial.com will be heavily promoted across major media outlets, including television, Internet search engines, healthcare-focused websites and social networking sites.
