Benefits
of clinical research
If you choose to volunteer for
one of our clinical research studies, you are ultimately helping us
pave a path for the medicine of tomorrow. With your help, our
carefully conducted investigations can help our researchers offer
hope for many people. In return, you could gain access to new research
treatments before they are widely available and receive regular and
careful medical attention from our research team, which is made up of
doctors and other health professionals.
Some
additional benefits of participating in clinical trials may include:
-
Healthcare is provided by leading physicians in the field of research.
-
Access to new drugs and interventions before they are widely
available.
-
Close monitoring of your health and any side effects.
-
An opportunity to be the first to benefit from successful trials.
-
An opportunity to make a valuable contribution to medical research.
While
we make every effort to ensure your safety while participating in
clinical trials, it must be acknowledged that there are some risks,
including:
-
New drugs and procedures may have side effects or risks unknown to
doctors.
-
New drugs and procedures may be ineffective, or less effective, than
current approaches.
-
Even if a new approach has benefits, it may not work for you.
Hundreds
of patients are currently involved in clinical trials. Participating
in a clinical trial is a very personal decision. We encourage you to
speak with your healthcare team and loved ones before deciding how
you would like to proceed.
