Frequently Asked Questions
Participation in any clinical study is completely voluntary. Your decision to participate – or not participate – in a clinical study will have no effect on the medical care that you receive now or in the future. If you are eligible and choose to participate in a study, you may leave the clinical study at any time, and for any reason.
There are many reasons to participate in clinical research. For example, it allows participants to play a more proactive role in their own health by receiving a new treatment for an ongoing disease or condition. Participants also play an important part in bringing much-needed drugs to market, benefitting thousands of patients who also have the disease or condition.
Every clinical research study must be reviewed, and is continually monitored, by a regulatory review committee to ensure the risks are as low as possible to the study participant. As a volunteer, you have the right to discontinue your participation and leave the study at any time and for any reason.
Volunteers who qualify to take part in the study will receive a stipend and may receive reimbursement for travel and expenses. Please discuss this with the study team when they contact you.
