About Clinical Trials

What are clinical trials?

Clinical trials are research studies that test new treatments, drugs, or medical devices to determine their safety and effectiveness before they become widely available.

Are clinical trials safe?

Clinical trials follow strict safety protocols and are closely monitored. However, like any medical treatment, there can be risks. These are thoroughly explained during the informed consent process.

Will I receive a placebo?

Not all trials use placebos. When they do, you'll be informed during the consent process. Many trials compare new treatments to current standard care rather than placebos.

Can I leave a clinical trial?

Yes, you can withdraw from a clinical trial at any time for any reason. This is your right as a participant.

Finding Trials

How do I know if I'm eligible for a trial?

Each trial has specific eligibility criteria. Our search results show general requirements, but you'll need to contact the research team for a full eligibility assessment.

What if there are no trials in my area?

Try expanding your search radius or selecting "Worldwide" to see all available options. Some trials may cover travel expenses for participants.

How often are new trials added?

New trials are constantly being added to our database. We recommend checking back periodically or setting up alerts for your condition.

Participation

What costs are involved?

Will my insurance cover trial participation?

Most insurance plans cover standard care costs during trial participation. Check with your insurance provider and the research team about coverage details.
