Why should I consider participating in a clinical research study?
- Clinical research studies are critical in developing treatments to prevent, diagnose or treat diseases.
- As a clinical trial volunteer, you belong to a large community of volunteers around the world. You help researchers answer important health questions and help them discover new medical treatments.
- There are no costs to you for taking part in one of these studies. The costs of study medication, study visits and study-related tests and procedures will be paid for by the study sponsor.
Myth: Clinical research studies are for people who have no other options.
Fact: People have different reasons to join a study. Some participants may want to try an alternative option before moving on to other approved medications such as biologics.
