Why should I participate in a clinical trial?

Some patients may choose to take part in a clinical trial because their doctor thinks the clinical trial may provide a new treatment option suitable for evaluation in treating a particular medical condition. Clinical trials sometimes provide treatment alternatives. Others participate in clinical trials to contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge. Medical products are most accurately evaluated in the people they are designed to help.

Patients in clinical trials receive meticulous medical follow up and state-of-the-art treatment, with hope of improved health for all participants.

The decision to participate in a clinical trial should be based upon a consultation between you and your doctor.
