Current Clinical Trials

asdf

What can I expect if I participate in a clinical study? To determine if a new investigational drug is safe and effective, some study volunteers may take medication; others may take a placebo (sugar pill). If you decide to volunteer for a clinical study, you will learn about the potential risks and benefits of participating in a specific study when you review the study informed consent form with study personnel. You will also learn that you will be carefully monitored by doctors and nurses, that government health authorities and a medical ethics group will oversee the research, that you can stop participation freely at any time and that you will be compensated for your time and travel.

As a clinical study volunteer, you may be asked to:
• Visit a health-care provider regularly
• Take medication
• Have laboratory and diagnostic tests
• Change your diet and exercise habits
