Here are some questions you should ask before
you (or a dependant) embark on a clinical trial:
|
 |
What is the purpose of the study? |
 |
What does the study involve in terms of tests
and treatments? |
 |
What is the trial procedure like? - how long does
it take, who will be administering it? |
 |
Will the new treatment bring about any new outcome
with regard to my existing condition? |
 |
How does the experimental drug compare to known
treatments, so far? |
 |
How could participating in this trial affect my
daily life? |
 |
Are there any risks about which I should be informed? |
 |
What is the time commitment necessary for all
the testing procedures? |
 |
Will my anonymity be preserved? |
