Are there risks to participating in a clinical research study?
In every research study, there are potential risks, and volunteers may experience side effects from the investigational drug. As a volunteer, you will be given an informed consent form, which lists possible risks and side effects which you may experience during a particular study. Every potential volunteer must sign and understand the informed consent before enrolling in a study. During every study, volunteers are monitored by a well-trained staff to minimize risk. You have the right to refuse treatment during a clinical trial and may leave at any time and for any reason.
