What Taking Part in a Clinical Trial Actually Involves.
Learn how clinical trials work, what participation may involve, and what you can expect from our research team before you decide whether to take part.
What a Clinical Trial Is
A clinical trial is a research study designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a treatment, medication, device, or approach to care. Every study follows a detailed research plan called a protocol and is reviewed by an independent ethics committee before participants can enroll.
Participation is always voluntary. You can ask questions at any time, take the time you need to decide, and leave a study at any point without affecting your regular medical care.
