What Happens After a Trial Ends?

Once a clinical trial is finished, the research team takes time to review all the data collected during the study. This includes information about how well the treatment worked, what side effects were reported, and whether the goals of the trial were met.

Key steps after a trial ends:

  • Data is carefully analyzed by researchers.
  • The results may be shared with health agencies like the FDA or EMA.
  • Findings are often published in medical journals.
  • In some trials, participants may be told about the overall results.

The research site is responsible for post-trial communication and follow-up. DecenTrialz only supports pre-screening and referral. Once DecenTrialz’s role concludes with the referral, the research site assumes responsibility for all post-trial communications.
