Clinical Trials: Important Information to Consider

There is a lot to consider when deciding whether to participate in a clinical trial. Any clinical trial includes risks, which the study doctor will review with you. Make sure you understand the risks before participating.

About Clinical Trials

What Is a Clinical Trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new ways to help prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. Clinical trials help to find out whether investigational vaccines, medicines, or new uses for existing medicines are safe and effective. The goal of these studies is to help find potential medicines and vaccines to treat disease and improve lives. Clinical trials are sometimes also called intervention studies, clinical studies, and clinical research.

Important Considerations

Participating in a clinical trial may involve risk, so it’s important that you talk to your doctor and the study doctor before deciding if it’s right for you. There may be unpleasant, serious, or even life-threatening side effects to treatment. Treatment may or may not be effective. Participation in the trial may require more time and attention than would be required outside of a clinical trial. This may include travel to trial sites, more treatments, hospital stays, or complex dosage requirements.

Before considering whether to participate in a clinical trial, you should know as much as possible about the trial and feel comfortable asking questions about the trial, the expected care during the trial, and the costs involved. We invite you to continue exploring the site and to read our helpful FAQ section.
