Preparing to Participate

When thinking about clinical trials, there are many things to consider. Remembering that safety is always a top priority in clinical trials, it is still important to have conversations with your doctor, your family, and your insurance provider about this decision. Here is a list of questions to get answered:
  • How will the study team communicate with my regular doctor?
  • Will the study sponsor cover any expenses not covered by insurance? Is there an opportunity to be reimbursed for traveling to participate in the trial?
  • What is the plan for care or receiving the drug when the trial is over?
  • When will I know whether I received the potential new treatment being studied in the trial?
