Frequently Asked Questions

A clinical trial is a research study that evaluates how a new medical approach — such as a medication, device, vaccine, or treatment strategy — works in people. Trials help determine whether new options are safe and effective for broader use.

Participants often consider clinical trials to:

  • Learn about potential new treatment options
  • Receive study-related care and monitoring
  • Be part of medical discovery that may help others
  • Receive reimbursement for time and travel (varies by study)

All clinical trials involve potential risks and benefits, which vary by study. Before you decide whether to participate, you’ll go through a thorough informed consent process where you’ll learn about:

  • The study’s purpose
  • What participation involves
  • Possible side effects or risks
  • Who to contact with questions

Each study is approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Research Ethics Board (REB) to ensure the rights and welfare of participants are protected. Studies are also regulated by:

  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  • Health Canada, the Canadian authority for health research
  • Local ethical and scientific review committees

No. Participation is always voluntary. You may leave a study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of access to your regular care.

Some studies offer reimbursement for time, travel, or related expenses. Details vary by study and will be provided before you decide whether to take part.

Each study has specific eligibility criteria to ensure safety and valid results. If a study isn’t a fit, we can — with your permission — contact you about future opportunities.
