Clinical Trial Questions

Who can join a clinical trial?

Each study has its own requirements, such as age, diagnosis, and past treatments. Our research team will check whether you may qualify before you decide.

Do I have to stop seeing my regular doctor?

No. Taking part is voluntary, and you can leave a study at any time without affecting your regular care with us.
