What should I consider or ask before joining a clinical trial?
Every clinical trial is different. You should ask as many questions as you need until you fully understand what to expect in a trial. Here are some examples:
- What are the possible risks and benefits of participating?
- How would the risks and benefits of a trial treatment compare with my current treatment?
- How might participating affect my daily life?
- Would I have to pay for a clinical trial?
- What are the current treatment options for my condition?
- Are there any clinical trials that would be a good option for treatment?
