Patient Resources

Every trial has a protocol – specific guidelines and procedures that detail what happens during the trial, when, and why. This helps ensure the results are reliable and helps reduce the risk to participants. Not every person with the disease or condition being studied will qualify for the trial.

Clinical trials are how new treatments, therapies, and procedures for diseases and conditions get into market so people can use them. They’re meant to show what’s safe, what works, and what doesn’t in humans – key information that can’t always be learned in the lab or with animal models. The paramount focus in all of this, naturally, is the safety of clinical trial participants.
