Clinical Trials
More resources and information to help you find clinical trials, understand them, and decide if you may be interested in joining one.
When a patient takes part in a clinical trial, they help advance medical knowledge and expand our understanding of their condition. Their participation may help people worldwide.
Deciding whether to join a clinical trial does not have to happen alone. We encourage you to discuss your options with your doctors, family, and other loved ones so you can find the best option.
Different people may have different reactions to the same treatment based on their age, gender, weight, race, ethnicity, and other factors. Clinical trials rely on volunteers to take part, and it’s vital that these volunteers come from diverse backgrounds. By including people from diverse backgrounds, we can help ensure that the data generated from the clinical trials reflect the diversity of the population we hope to serve.
When you start your search for a clinical trial, it’s important to gather as much information as you can. We’ve created a guide to help you understand the information you will see in your clinical trial search results.
Choosing to join a clinical trial is not an easy decision and doesn’t need to be made alone. Use our guide to help start the conversation with your doctors or loved ones.
