Frequently Asked Questions
Deciding whether or not to participate in a clinical trial/study is a difficult decision to make. To assist you, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions and answers that may provide you with the information you need to make this important decision. The information below has been borrowed from the National Institutes of Health's cancer.gov website.
What kind of information will I get if I want to take part in a research study?
Before you join a study, a doctor, nurse, or another person on the research team will explain why the study is being done, and what will happen during the study. You can ask any questions you have about the study.
You will also be given a Consent Form to read. This form will explain:
• The exact plan for each step in the study
• What side effects you may have
• How the study may affect your daily life
You should ask questions about any part of the Consent Form
you do not understand. If you decide to take part in the study, you will be
asked to sign the Consent Form.
Even if you sign the Consent Form, you can still change your mind and withdraw
from the study at any time.
