The safety of participants is always a priority in any clinical research study for all members of the research team. The research team consists of pharmaceutical companies, study doctors, study coordinators, and other research staff. There are risks involved in participating in a clinical research study. The study staff will explain all of the possible risks and potential benefits to each study participant before they decide to participate.
Clinical research studies are performed according to government guidelines. These guidelines help protect the rights of participants during the clinical research study while allowing valuable information about the effects of the investigational study drug to be collected.
Clinical trials test new treatments and compare them to available treatments (the usual way doctors treat certain health conditions or diseases). The Food and Drug Administration requires clinical trials before a new medication can be approved.
Clinical Trials are the engine of the medical process. The benefits of taking part in a clinical trial depend on the study you join. Although personal benefit cannot be guaranteed as it is investigational medication, you may:
The study doctors and coordinators will watch you carefully for any changes in your health. You are always free to leave the study. The risks will vary depending on the kind of trial you join. Here are some of the possible risks:
When beginning any study the doctor, or investigator, must get approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is a committee of doctors and other medical personnel that have no ties to the study. The IRB makes sure the clinical trial is as safe as possible and that the "informed consent" explains all of the important information to the patient. Before people join a clinical trial, they go through something called the "informed consent process." This process ensures that as a potential study participant you are given written information about the purpose of the study, the risks and benefits of being in the study; and what you may expect to occur during the course of the study. Once you have carefully read these documents, you should ask questions about words or procedures that you don't understand.
You can change your mind and leave a study at any time. Remember that being a part of a clinical trial is always your choice. Your relationship with your doctor will not change because you decide to leave a study and your care will not be affected in any way.

The research staff will determine your eligibility for any ongoing studies and, with your permission, may contact you regarding eligibility for future studies. The decision to take part in a clinical trial is always yours to make.
“I came to volunteer for this drug study because I knew that it was time to use another therapeutic method other than the many joint replacements I have had. I was having severe pain which was limiting my activities. Unfortunately, the medications were cost prohibitive and Dr. Jane Box suggested the current trial I am on. It has improved my ability to resume some activities. March 2018 will be the 50th year since I was first diagnosed with JRA. I just had my 64th birthday and I am grateful to have this opportunity to improve my quality of life." -Linda
"Living with Lupus or any autoimmune disease is a struggle within itself. The physical and emotional toll can often be overwhelming. I came to Dr. Jane Box feeling just that “overwhelmed”. To my relief I was greeted with an amazing doctor in Dr. Jane and an incredible supportive staff. This team takes the time to really listen to you and your concerns. The professionalism and courtesy of everyone on staff shines through. The level of care makes it so much easier to face my medical challenges because I feel I am not alone. Truly grateful!" -Tiffanie
