Choosing to participate in a clinical trial is an important personal decision. it is often helpful to talk to your physician and family members, about deciding to join a trial. After identifying some trial options, the next step is to contact our staff and ask questions about specific trials.
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study in human volunteers to answer specific health questions. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find treatments that work in people and ways to improve health. Interventional trials determine whether experimental treatments or new ways of using known therapies are safe and effective under controlled environments. Observational trials address health issues in large groups of people or populations in natural settings.
Why should I participate in a clinical trial?
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research.
