What are Clinical Trails?
For patients who have not responded to standard treatments, new treatments may be tested without any comparison group. You should consider participating in a clinical trial only after your doctor has explained the trial’s specific purposes, risks, and benefits. Clinical trials offer some of the best medical care available. Trials not only provide the latest and best medical expertise, but patients receive close attention and monitoring. Most insurance companies cover treatment done within a clinical trial – if not, first treatment is free of charge at the National Institutes of Health.
