For Patients and the Community

There is no guarantee that being in a clinical trial will be of benefit, and there may be risks involved. Lots of effort goes into trying to control risks to your well-being and known possible risks must be explained in a written document that will be given to you. If new risks are learned during the trial, this information must be shared as well. If you decide to be a part of the trial you can stop participating at any time. As part of the decision-making process, you will be given a chance to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a study doctor. You should make a decision only after you fully understand the study and have had a chance to talk to your family and friends.
