Clinical Trial Participation:
Participation in a clinical trial is confidential, free and participants have the right to withdraw at any time.
The initial appointment for most studies generally takes approximately one hour. At this appointment, potential participants are assessed by a research physician and a member of the clinical staff to determine eligibility for participation. This is to determine whether the participant has a condition which might benefit from the treatment study and has any conditions or factors in which treatment is not advisable.
If this investigational treatment is appropriate for the potential participant based on the study criteria, they then are offered the opportunity to participate. To fully explain what is involved, participants are given an informed consent that details the procedures in the study, the risks and benefits of the investigational medication, and alternative forms of treatment. If they choose to participate and have time, they may be enrolled that day. Prior to any study procedures being performed, participants must read and sign an Informed Consent Form (ICF). After the Informed Consent process, the enrollment procedures generally include the following:
- Blood and urine specimens,
- ECG, and a
- Physical examination.
If potential participants want additional time to think about participating, they may take the ICF home to discuss with friends or family members, and call us should they decide to participate.
Individuals who choose not to participate will be given suggestions for referrals to a local healthcare provider for follow-up.
