Why Participate?

A clinical trial is a research study to determine the safety and efficiency of a new medical device, mediciation, or treatment modality.

Many people participate in clinical trials because the treatments they’ve tried for the health problem(s) have not worked as primarily intended. Others participate because there is not a treatment currently offered for their diagnosis and by participating in a clinical trial, they could be getting access to new treatment(s) before they become widely available. 

In most cases, medical treatments and medications must go through clinical trials to gain approval from the FDA. A clinical trial is often used to understand and determine if a new treatment could be safer, more effective and less harmful than the currently existing FDA approved standard treatments.
