Understanding Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are important to ensure that people receive safe and effective treatments for their health conditions, from heart disease to headaches. They provide the means to develop new treatments that are more effective, safer than treatments already on the market or deliver the therapy via a different mechanism of action; they enable researchers to discover new therapeutic uses for currently available medications; and, they make it possible to develop innovative treatments for conditions that currently have no treatment.

What is informed consent?
Informed consent is the process by which a potential study participant is provided with information about the study and treatment before deciding whether or not to participate in the trial. It includes an explanation of what is involved in the trial, the duration of the study, the frequency and length of the required visits, as well as the known risks and benefits associated with the study treatment.

Participation in a clinical trial is completely voluntary. All questions about the study should be answered to the patient's satisfaction before an informed consent form (ICF) is signed. Patients have the right to refuse participation or to withdraw their consent at any time during the study without penalty.

The wishes and best interest of the patient are considered at all times and, throughout the trial, participants will be provided with any new information that may affect their decision to continue their participation in the study.
