A recent diagnosis or suggestion by a physician may have prompted you to learn more about participating in a clinical trial. Choosing to participate in a clinical trial is an important personal decision. This site provides introductory information about clinical trials. In addition, it is often helpful to talk to a physician, family members, or friends about deciding to join a trial. After identifying some trial options, the next step is to contact the study research staff and ask questions about specific trials.
