Frequently Asked Questions
Are clinical trials safe?
Every clinical trial must be approved and monitored by an Institutional Review Board to make sure the risks are as low as possible and are worth any potential benefits.
This review includes doctors, nurses, statisticians, and others who make sure that each clinical trial is ethical and that your rights are protected. All institutions that support biomedical research must have an IRB that approves and periodically reviews the research to ensure your safety.
When the trial is approved, the organizers of the study must follow a protocol that describes exactly what will happen during the study.

What is informed consent?
Informed consent is the process of learning about the clinical trial before you decide to take part in it. The research team must explain to you the trial’s purpose, how long it will take, all potential risks and benefits, and information of your medical records, always under privacy.
If you want to participate, you will sign a consent form that details all of the information that has been discussed with the research team. Even if you sign the consent, you can decide to leave the trial whenever you want to.
