WHY PARTICIPATE IN A CLINICAL TRIAL? 

People participate in clinical trials for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons include the desire to help others, learn more about their conditions, receive the latest care from trained staff, or be an important part of finding a cure or new treatment. No matter the reason, your involvement will help medical researchers and healthcare companies find new and innovative ways to prevent, detect and treat illness and disease — offering hope to millions of people worldwide.
