Clinical Trial Participation

Participation in a clinical trial is completely voluntary for a patient. Common reasons for joining a clinical trial include:

  • Playing a more active role in your own health care
  • Gaining access to innovative screening and therapies before they become widely available
  • Helping others by contributing to advancements in medical research

Choosing to participate in a clinical trial can be difficult for patients. If you are considering enrolling in a clinical trial, it is important for you to fully understand the risks and benefits of the trial, what the purpose of the research is, and how the trial differs from other treatment options. Make sure to carefully discuss your participation with your physician so that you can make a well-informed decision that is best for you.
