What is a clinical study?
A clinical study is a carefully designed investigation to find treatment of a material or method on a disease state conducted according to a formal study plan.
Why should I volunteer?
Volunteering in a clinical study is an important decision to better understand diseases, improved treatment methods and provide alternative therapies for patients.
How long will the study last?
Each study has different requirements. Some studies are a single visit while others can involve more visits lasting over several weeks.
What are the possible benefits?
Benefits to you as a participant include expert medical care for the condition being studied, opportunities to try medications to help your disease and help others by contributing to medical research and treatment advances. Compensation is often provided to those who qualify.
What is Informed Consent?
Informed Consent is a document used to record a subject's willingness to participate in a clinical trial. The subject or legal representative signs and dates the form after receiving an in-depth explanation about the risks, responsibilities, and possible benefits associated with the research study.
How much does it cost?
Costs that are covered can vary by study. In most clinical studies, qualified participants will receive study medication, testing and education at no charge.
What if I want to stop the study?
Your participation is voluntary and you may choose not to participate at any time. Refusal to participate will involve no penalty or loss of benefits to which you would otherwise be entitled.
