What is the informed consent?
Informed consent is a process in which you learn more about the important facts related to a clinical trial in order for you to make an informed decision about whether or not to participate. During the informed consent process you should learn more about the procedures for the evaluations and treatment of the clinical trial, the known benefits, the known risks, alternative treatments, confidentiality of records, compensation, and the ability to withdraw at any time without penalty. During this time, you should also feel free to ask any questions you may have about the study in which you may be participating.
