If you qualify, your physician may give you the option of participating
in a clinical trial. A clinical trial is the process of testing
a new drug or therapy before it is marketed to the general public.
You most likely will not be paid to participate, but you will be
monitored closely. If you choose to participate, you will receive
the same high levels of treatment you would normally receive. You
will not be asked to test something that is known to be dangerous,
and you will not be refused treatment. Learn more about clinical trials.
We recommend you also read Medical Research: A Consumer's Guide for Participation, produced by the American Health Lawyers Association.
