Why participate?

Why participate?

Ten reasons to volunteer for a clinical trial:

1. If you are suffering from a disease, a clinical trial could gain you access to treatment otherwise unavailable to you.
2. If you have exhausted all standard treatment options, a clinical trial might offer a new option that helps where traditional therapies have failed.
3. Participating in a clinical trial is a meaningful way to contribute to a vast body of medical research.
4. Clinical trials need to include a diverse group of subjects to be fully effective. If you belong to a minority group, your participation can be even more vital
5. Your participation in a clinical trial could lead to a new treatment that helps someone you care for.
6. Free medical care. Subjects in a clinical study will generally be monitored closely by a physician. All necessary exams, lab work, and medications are typically provided free of charge.
7. Participation in clinical trials can be a way to volunteer for a cause that is important to you.
8. You might find a better treatment option with fewer side effects.
9. In some cases you will be compensated for your time and inconvenience.
10. You might learn something new.
