Participating in Clinical Trials

Informed Consent

Informed consent is a continuing process that helps you decide whether to enroll in a trial. During the first meeting and in follow-up meetings the research team will tell you about

  • tests or treatments that you may get if you are assigned to the treatment group
  • possible risks and benefits of these tests or treatments
  • standard tests and treatments available now
  • what you need to do, such as take medications at a certain time.
