What is a clinical trial?

A "clinical trial" is a research study to answer specific questions about investigational treatments, or new ways of using known treatments. It is a test to see if the investigational treatment is safe and effective. Strict rules are set by the Food and Drug Administration to ensure patient safety.

Why should I participate?

You can try an investigational treatment before it is widely available. This aids in the development of treatments that may help others.

What are the risks?

Many studies use a placebo ("sugar pill") meaning some volunteers may be getting no treatment. Potential risks are outlined prior to enrolling in a study and patients are monitored very closely.

What rights do I have if I choose to participate in a trial?

You may leave the study at any time or for any reason, without hindering your right to further treatment. Participation will not affect your ability to get treatment for other conditions.
