Im in a clinical trial but Im moving to another location. Do I just drop-out of the study?
No, your continued participation in the study is very important. Each and every patients continued participation helps to assure that the results of the study can be accurately analyzed. First, you need to inform the physician who enrolled you into the study of your plans. This physicians staff can make arrangements with your new doctor to supply follow-up information related to the study. This may require that you sign a form authorizing the physicians to have access to study specific data. Second, you should also provide your study doctor with information that will allow him/her to contact you directly, if necessary. There may be important information about the study that he/she might want to share with you.
