What Are the Possible Benefits of Participating in a Clinical Trial?

There can be many benefits to participating in a clinical trial. Some benefits include:

• Gives patients access to the latest research and treatments before they are available to anyone else.
• Patients often are able to get expert medical care from leading health centers during the clinical trial.
• Participation in a clinical trial can allow patients to become active participants in their own healthcare.
• Patients who participate in a clinical trial contribute to medical research

 For many people, these benefits outweigh the potential risks of participation.
