Should You Participate in a Clinical Trial or Study?
Deciding whether to participate in a clinical trial or study requires careful consideration. The
following are some of the questions you should ask, and get answered, before you sign an informed consent
agreement:
- What is the purpose of the study?
- What are the risks and benefits of the research?
- What will be required of me (possible additional tests, procedures, therapies and discomforts)?
- How will my health be monitored throughout the study?
- How might the study benefit me or eventually benefit others?
- How will my personal health information be protected?
Signing an informed consent form to take part in a study doesn't mean you must remain in the study. If you
wish to leave a study, you may do so at any time without prejudice or loss of future treatment. You also have
the right to ask questions at any time about the study or medication involved. You also have the right to
seek compensation for complications or injury resulting from the study.
Remember to take the time you need to make your decision.
Check back soon for new Trials.
